They should have made it more over dramatic and pompous.

He needs to spend time on his vacuum system and door handle.
I know someone on one of the other forums that would pee his pants over that video.

yep, me too. LOL! I found this on a C3 Registry site someone uploaded. There's a couple more downloads of a couple of racers and dragracers. They are nice!

"Corvette Drifting...... "
Is that what you call that?
I call that taking your corvette to a parking lot and beating the shXX out of it.

That video has been around for years. I would never do this, but the performance is pretty impressive. The L-46 certainly has ball$!

I don't get the whole drifting thing. Just over reving your engine and tearing up the drive train for no reason.

Racing as a whole does it as well

Whether it be Drag or Drift, Road, or Auto-X, you're still spending money and still tearing up parts.

Parts are differently affected depending on the path you choose, as there isn't really a 1 size fits all for parts in racing or viewing, which why not every fan of one sport likes the other one just as much.

I've been to a few drag shows, a few drift shows, a few Auto-x but I haven't made it to road races yet, i can say I definitely enjoy Drift and Auto-X more than Drag but thats just me.

As a whole I like motorsports and fighting a whole lot more than actual team based sports, maybe I'm just the weird of the group

This is my favorite Corvette drifting video !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5hMp...ext=1&index=16

Not quite original as the commentator states and $180,000 Eros is a bit out of wack!
