Someone should run the video through some resolution enhancement software such as this:

I'd love to see the result.

"Grunewald Racing Camaro sets its sights on 2010 Formula Drift season"

Aren't the words racing and drift mutually exclusive?

Better weight distribution under braking and better grip coming out of corners. The point is, you can make the straights longer, this gives you a few more mph at the end of the straight. This is the the whole point of race driving, extending the straights. Races are won by how fast you go on the straight and how early you can get on the throttle.

History has shown this layout is superior on the race track.

And fast forward a little bit New for 2011....... 515hp. That engine is likely detuned quite a bit for future enhancements.

Amatuer guy with virtually no experience came within 1.3s of Brian Redman on a long track is pretty good. I would be a pro would shave another 5 sec. of that though ;-)

The statistics about all the deaths from police chasing people is sickening. Are these all crimes worth chasing people for?

The other night I was channel surfing and saw a police chase video where they were going after a guy who didn't pay for $15 worth of gas. The chase went on the interstate at speeds over 100 mph in fairly thick traffic with the suspect going into the emergency lane several times to go around slower traffic. The cop deliberately took out the suspect's car by spinning it, and in the process wrecked someone else who they were passing. The car flipped and went in the ditch. The suspect suffered injuries but thankfully the bystanders did not in this case.

I'm all for catching criminals, but at what price to public safety? Was it worth it?

WTF is a drunk monkey? This some weird stuff.

Exactly how many engadget bloggers were in that car in 1994?


"Back on January 16 of 1994, our 1985 Pontiac Parisienne Safari decided to blow a hole its radiator at the corner of Roscoe and De Soto in the San Fernando Valley. We remember noticing the temp gauge peg itself all the way to the right just as steamy white smoke began erupting out of the hood,..."

Did he drive the racecar or the street car? A race car can blow your mind like that.

Some friends of mine race in the TC class. I was told the series actually has to PAY Speed Channel for the air-time. Since they are probably hurting for sponsorship dollars and car counts are down this year, it makes the video production budget a little tight.

And I'll add that now it is two half hour shows instead of two one hour shows like it used to be (actual race length). And video production has gone downhill, the voice-overs by the guy from Dream Car Garage suck.
