About 3:04, it almost looks like the left rear wheel lifts. In any event it is amazing how in turns the car just seems to rotate around the vertical axis.

Car makes its own music, they didn't need the overdub.

Thanks for sharing

Absolutely the pinnacle of C3 performance and he can drive for sure. His C5 will eat that car for lunch though. I’d love a ride in the passenger seat of any of his rides.

C3's are getting real popular in AX now, and Danny has a lot to do with it.

Wow!
What a driver. What a car.
For some reason the rear tires slide a lot
But what is amazing is the driver control, the rear slides out 3-4 feet and is lined up with the straight, while he is still in the MIDDLE of the turn...Every single time!!
Wow! Again

I wonder if he is running a carburetor or fuel injection.

In the vid, Danny says it's sequentially fuel injected.

I believe that is called 'torque induced oversteer'. Somehow when I try it my results are quite different!
