I confess I really don't know enough about drifting to fully understand it but an all wheel drift I can't even picture that in my head.

Running the edge of the envelope for sure.

I have seen a few of these from him. He is amazing.
That car has more than 350 ponies I will bet.

In the mid 80's I crewed on the Hendricks motor sports GTP Corvette. You can Google the car. Sarel VanDermerver (Sp) was the lead driver on the 52 car. He was a rally champion. I rode with him on a couple of drunken adventures and he could make you wish you were somewhere else.

This is the Corvette at speed in the Columbus street course.

Very true. Heck you can order a pre fab kit with blue prints from Quartermax, Jerry Bickel and Tim McAmis for several popular cars. But you still have to do research some guys have fab skills but couldn't tune a bicycle chassis

Oh I've the the bicycle part down. Top to bottom. Front to back.

Thats amazing! I don't know how many horse his car had in this video (it states it in the beginning) i think it 570. 360 still burns rubber though. Here is a mudflap or two. This is what they all look like after a few short drifts.

Mudflaps!? Don't need no stinkin mudflaps!!!

Even the basic chassis tune up on my 3 bar car could trip up some of the guys we raced with/against.
Front A's had jack screws to adjust weight transfer. Adjustable shocks front and dual adjustable s in back.
Some weight that could be moved around.

The results.....Left hard and straight. Just the right amount of roll up in the rear tires.
