    Anatomy Of A Ford Mustang Drift Racer

    We caught up with professional drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. and had him walk us around his Ford Mustang to show us what makes his trick drift car tick. Not only did we get a close-up look at the machine, he even took us for a quick spin around some cones conveniently placed in the parking lot. This was our second time riding shotgun in a drift car — our first was in a JDM Nissan Skyline — and we've gotta admit, even though some may feel drifting isn't a real sport, it's unquestionably fun. Check out all the action in the video after the jump.

    Red Bull Drifting World Championship Announced, Beijing Olympics Now Forgotten

    Formula DRIFT and Red Bull are poised to move the sport of drifting from a mostly national sport to an international competition with the announcement of the Red Bull Drifting World Championship, to be held at the Port of Long Beach on November 15, 2008. The competition is set to bring 32 professional drifters from around the world to compete for the largest purse ever, though what that purse is hasn't been announced yet. We just hope some broke and alcoholic stevedore in a drifting El Camino somehow qualifies for the one amateur spot and earns enough money to pay for his daughter's college tuition. That would make an awesome movie. Press release below the jump.

    Taking A Spin In A JDM Nissan Skyline

    The new Nissan GT-R may be stirring up a lot of hype, but before the R35, Skyline lovers on this continent had to have their cars independently imported. The problem is, since the gray-market heyday of the '80s, the American import laws have been pretty dang strict. So, we decided to make our way up to Toronto, to check out how hoons in great white north do things. This particular operation, ONI JDM, has brought in everything from kei cars to fully-modded RX-7s, Supras, and of course Skylines. They offered to take us for a ride in their drift-spec R32 Nissan Skyline, so we bolted down the video camera and strapped ourselves in.

    Hit It, Boy! Helmetless, Hopped-Up Power Wheels Hoonage

    The ATV-assisted Power Wheels hoonage we saw yesterday showed some medium-grade disregard for safety, all right. But how about when you get a younger kid, lose the helmet, and juice up his Power Wheels truck with about ten times the factory power? This boy showcases some serious drifting skills as he lays hard plastic all over his cul-de-sac, ultimately flipping his top-heavy ride. Fortunately, there's a happy ending, without the kid's dome busted on the hard concrete... this time.

    Fast And Furious Chinese Drifting With Pregnant Passengerey

    We're not so sure that drifting is a sport, but that doesn't stop those Chinese hoons from doing it. Yep, the language of drifting has apparently been outsourced translated into Mandarin. The Chinese apparently prefer to drift in... Japanese cars. What? Were you expecting a BYD? But wait, they haven't just ripped off the drifting formula and made it cheaper... they genuinely added something to the not-sport. Yes, we now have drifting with a pregnant woman riding shotgun— and in public traffic no less! Yes, that child is gonna be a real hoon prodigy.

    The Ferrari Enzo: Born To Drift

    This has to be one of the most aggressive Enzo drivers we've ever seen. We'd be afraid to pull the $1,000,000 limited edition car named after the Ferrari founder out of neutral. Well, that's not true — but we know we wouldn't be drifting one of these bad boys around the track. But...this driver — who is not Stefan — feels more than happy to do it...and we're more than happy to watch. More »

    Hoon of the Day: MAN, oh Man

    The best thing about this feature, besides bringing the word "hoon" to an American audience unfamiliar with its color and precision, is occasionally finding a heady mix of stupidity, insanity and genius, usually the result of too many resources, too much free time and not enough common sense. Take, for example, the guy in this clip who just happens to have access to a MAN XL cabover truck, a race track, lots of rubber and massive quantities of hoonage. Hilarity ensues. [Thanks to J. for the tip.] More »

    Spy Photos: Ferrari "Imola" Drift Video

    Ferrari fans hanging on Modena's every detail can delight in the first video vision of the new Imola /600 / Scaglietti coupe. Some stealthy soul caught the upcoming two-door on Italy's Fiorano test track, where the coupe was being put through its paces, including a four-wheel drift around a gentle back bend. Poetry in motion, even if just for a few seconds. More »
