I don't mean to be a negative nancy, but are you even driving in this pic, it looks like you positioned the car this way, so it'd look like you were drifting, your car has no body roll whatsoever, which even the tightest suspension will do when drifting, second, your rear and front tires don't even appear to be spinning. Third it doesn't look like shutter speed, cause you can tell the truck is actually moving forward. I hope I'm wrong, cause that would be dope if you did drift that corner, but it sure as hell doesn't look like anything but a pose.... sorry

Got two nice roads here. Here's a vid of the one that is maintained normally (in my friends S2000).

This is a full run from one side to another. The side we started on the elevation is about 5200ft, it peaks at 8800ft, and then goes down to 6200ft on the other end. Fun place.

Point is: it's a nice pic, pose looks cool, clean looking car = win.

Oh I'm plannin on it, one of my really good friends (with an FC) just moved back into town last night, and we're goin up tonight! I'll be postin some pics and videos. I don't need to fake it. I'm confused on why you all are hatin on me! I've supplied this thread with tons of pics and videos.
All I did was ask if it was real or not, never got a response, just tons of hate, proving it isn't real. So don't blame me!!!

you guys need to just stop hating and post some damn pictures 
some people like to fake their pictures, whether its real or not it doesn't matter its a cool picture.
anyway, you guys should download google earth if you dont have it, find your touges and post a screen shot.
im sure you can take out the coordinates if you dont want people knowing where it is. but just for the sake of the thread, it would be cool to see.

To the picture comments of the white TII drifting... Have you guys ever seen pictures of amateur drifting? It's not going to have **** tons of tire smoke and crazy 100mph blur w/ techniques photographers use to have **** published in magazines.
Give the guy a break. It looks as if it were taken w/ a point and shoot, explaining the fast shutter speed and non-blur effect most of you expect. Get off his nuts about it. lol.
