For american...I'd say vaugn gitten...cuz that dude throws tire smoke like no other...and he seems like he cool and energetic. You know gets you pumped up being there and stuff....

Japanese...Nomura, by far. For his style, his er34, and his goofyness dude. I love watching that little man do the weirdest stuff. And he really looks like a little monkey. Hahahaha. But throws sick smoke as well. Heard somewhere he's gonna be sriving the r35 for d1 next year.....

And mad scientist...the meanest drifter ever, and you dudes gtta agree....

Now its just another slide whore...
really? damn, that last time i read about it, it was ~1-2 seconds behind the cyber evo on tsukuba or suzuka i think, which is absolutely ridiculous considering that the evo is awd and at least 100 more hp than the s15. but i didn't know it doesn't run ta anymore

This is why I like Tsuchiya, he can actually drive. I saw a show a while back with a formula d/d1 driver, don't know who it was but he was driving the 350z on the show and they were doing a little time attack or somthing. He drifted like every corner, that's not the fastest way around a corner most of the time.

The driver you're thinking of is Ken Gushi in the Forza Motorsport challenge. Also I don't remember him drifting excessively except in the drift event (where he owned everyone) and one corner in the road course event.

Oh and I'm a Foust and Tsuchiya fan.Foust 100 point drift

He owned everyone because that's what he does. And I remember his crew chief or whatever was telling him to stop sliding around the corners, he couldn't really do it.

EDIT: I guess he wasn't doing it as much as I thought skip to about 8 min and you'll see his run.

Finally some Gushi love!

Not a huge fan of tc's but I can admire the work that had to go into it.

This should probably be in Gen Chat hardly any of these dudes rock s-chassis. I don't watch a lot of drifting so i don't have a lot to go off of, but i like Tanner Foust a lot. When i first started watching drifting i remember i liked Dai, but now for Japan i think i'd say Kumakubo. He's in a league of his own.
