Well this kid knows how to drive a Z06
 
Apparently a rising drift star.

Wish I had mom and dads $ too! Nice skills

That was the last time....he's grounded.

I have to admit that was hella cool...Thanks for sharing.

jbsblownc5 02-23-2017 08:48 PM

Yes, he's a natural!!:thumbs:

jaden61 02-23-2017 08:54 PM

Pretty cool what these cars are capable of.
I can only do about 30 feet of that, any further and my insurance will be involved.

Indeed.... looks like fun, and I'm sure it's hard to do well, but like any other burnout, pointless.

Except the fun part!

Actually I only care because I assume there's a wide swath of the youth population who thinks drifting is actually a fast way around the track.

The latest Car and Driver (or one of the other american mags) had a break down of car rotation through a corner during off road rally driving. Very very interesting read on how flicking and sliding a car into the corners actually rotates them more quickly and lets them get on the power sooner...making it a faster cornering event. Kind of fascinating that the theory only pertains to loose surface driving. You'd think it would be true for all driving.

Mom and Dad also paid good money for the video. Nicely done. Jr does have some skill. Bet a lot of us could beat the Hell out of our cars too if we weren't responsible for the repairs.

The kid was a driving star !! He handled it like a pro. If you can't give the young guy/kid a thumbs up .... Place yourself as a snowflake

davester 02-23-2017 10:34 PM

Will do. Thanks for your input.

Z06NJ 02-23-2017 10:40 PM

I admit, pretty cool, perfectly edited video. However, I'd like to also see the bloopers cut of the vid where the turns/drifts didn't go so well!!

keagan 02-23-2017 10:46 PM

Well done! :thumbs:

As a young person myself, I can easily say most younger people seem to be more interested in drifting rather than regular track days/ road courses. Only a handful of my friends are more interested in road course driving.

That being said, I definitely respect the drifters out there. It takes lots of skill to do what they do, just like it would take someone to run a fast lap time :thumbs:

That was sweet. I wish I had an open area to practice

That was way cool and WAY safer then the normal cars and coffee take the changes of ruining our image street tire smoking.
