Gittin Jr. Drifting a 2010 whipple GT500 in Japan....in the wet

[fiveo'cobra]

They had some drifting time attack in Japan recently and Ford brought out what looks like your average street modified whippled 500 out with Gittin Jr. behind the wheel for a fun run. He was slower than most of the Japanese machinery there simply because of the weight that car has to sling around in the wet but I thought he handled it damn good considering it still has the manual "yank" ebrake whereas the other cars had the "pull backs".

Car sounds pissed off too.

That's a whipple GT, nice car

 

[cobra_hover]

Cool find, I'm surprised how well he held the drifts considering how wet the track was.

 

[thomas91169]

im surprised he even had to rip the ebrake, youd think with all that torque you can just give a little blip of the throttle and pop the clutch to get the rears loose in the rain.

 

[Q8_Shelby]

Awesome.

 

[Robman420]

[CobraBob]

Yeah, the car did sound a bit ticked off. LOL! Wouldn't it be cool to be in the driver's seat for a few laps?

The Announcer is the best part. Reminds me of all those BEST MOTORING DVDs.

Vaughn Gittin is the man. Real nice guy in person as well. That Whipple sounds sexual :burnout:

 

[Revolator]

that was some good driving! chick at the end looked good too.

but why was it titled "GT500"? I'm guessing so people will find it in a search?:??:

 

[04MystiCobra]

Man I would have put it in the ditch on the first turn! That was some good driving there!

 

[Lights of Speed]

[Paulinator]

you cant control the turn if you pop the clutch... esp in the wet

+1

Those shows are always really funny, they introduce drivers like you are playing a game of Street Fighter lol. The announcers are funny with how excited they always sound.
