Corvette Drifting on Mountain Roads is YouTube Greatness
Daily Slideshow: It involves drifting Corvettes down mountain roads. Awesome!
Big Bruiser
Matt’s idea of a proper drift car involves jacking up the horsepower to absurd levels of power. We’re talking about a machine that puts down over 1,000hp to the wheels via the 8 cylinder LS motor that lurks under the hood. And yes, it is boosted…

Procharged
Instead of opting for twin-turbos that can take a split second to spool up, Matt opted for a Procharger system that allows for quick throttle response (especially low down in the rev range). This enables drifters to adjust the rear of the car at a moments notice and drive the car with instincts. It’s a proper setup that has a lot of thought behind it.

Technical Mastery
Drifting down a road like this is seriously difficult. Anyone can slide a car around cones in a parking lot, but doing it to this level requires technical mastery of your car. A driver has to be able to position the car like an extension of his own body which is exactly what Field is doing in this video. It’s simply jaw-dropping.
