    I hope the tire company employee who came up with the drifting concept got a big raise. Extra points for the diesel smoke?

    Check out a few of the other links. There are some really big turbos being put on the engines. Those crafty Germans can really make 'em smoke.

    Like a Porsche engineer told Jerry Branch (Harley Davidson and Branch Flowmetrics) when he observed that they didn't have the best flowing head design. The reply was something like: "We don't worry about that; we force it in".

    I WANT ONE!

    "Just because it smokes, don't mean it's broke! " Warming up the earth one turn at a time! Sorry for the spill over thoughts... not. It really didn't smoke that much unless he got under the turbo. 600hp and how much torque? Cool video!!!
