Hmm.

Haha, Freiburger referenced Motor Trend's reputation for "faster than reality" performance numbers.

One thing I will say is that drifting is harder than it looks. It's not just spinning the tires at WOT and steering appropriately. You need to modulate the throttle to modulate the amount of wheel spin you have, because you need the rear to have different levels of traction depending on the particular maneuver you are doing right at that moment. It is going to be about impossible with an automatic unless you put it in manual mode.

Is this like...laid back US Top Gear? But actually good?

I like how they are sponsored by Dodge, and show up with a 383 Chevy truck.


Why aren't we doing this again?

[kevm14]

I think it's an LS6 truck.

Yep, pretty sure it's got an LS6. I love how they had an engine in the bed for the test.
