This is a GREAT comparison video. I realize how AWESOME our machine is, but if I had the skills, can I really drive this way? I know it's built for this, but it seems like if I could drive around turns like this, just a couple of times, life would be fulfilled. Heck, It feels great when I am getting on the freeway and "jump on it", I can only imagine doing what's in the video. Another video listed is why I refer to mine as "A MACHINE". I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I OWN THIS MACHINE! Tim

There is a good chance you can if you attend one of the driving schools such as Skip Barber, Bob Bonderant or Ron Fellows.

These schools would teach you to drive fast not sideways. You would have to attend a drifting school to drive like they do in the video. One of our tracks up here in Ontario has a drifting school along with track/lapping days.

I'm not into drifting, I like to get around a track as fast as possible and sliding isn't usually the fastest way around. I guess it's for kicks and I will be the first to admit it's a unique skill but I wonder how much of this they do in their own cars. You know, the ones THEY have to pay for if then wrap it around a tree.......

When I was learning to drive fast I read a lot of info. One of my first driving instructors suggested I read Jackie Stewart's book on driving (Jackie Stewart's Principles of Performance Driving: Jackie Stewart: 9780905138435: Amazon.com: Books), it became my foundation. If you're read it you would understand how it's almost the anti-drifting bible.

In fact, I had to unlearn a lot of what that book and my experience taught me about going fast when I switched to autocross. Smooth is not the fastest on an autocross course (unless it's raining )

I highly recommend Ron Fellows, or if Boris Said has a course for clutch/brake/gas pedal usage.

Thank you so much for the info. Tim

I saw that video about a month ago. That's one of the most cooler reviews I've seen. I really enjoyed it. He's biased towards European cars, but seems to have come into this pretty straight up. I really like this vid.
