Kazama in FEED FD3S vs ??? in GP Sport's S15, with keiichi following? the faster car is more aparent on their 2nd run.

and here's another with kazama trying to touge the green s15.. he does a badass job considering its setup to DRIFT. he does an excellent job. around :55 from the incar he looks like he's lightly drifting while from outside he just looks normal. he's an exceptional driver imo- keep in mind that the car was tuned to drift naturally with little braking and throttle.

-Toshiki Yoshioka- for going ***** to the wall regardless of what situation he is in.

-Masato Kawabata- Dude gets so much angle and smoke it's retarded, makes nomuken look like poo.

-Atsushi Kuroi-For putting a 2jz into an s-chassis ... and being a good driver

yoshioka is pretty cool in person. even tho i was talking to his translator, he was nice. met him at a federal tire event over here.

daijiro inada on the other = fail

best quote from inada that i thought was hilarious

"if you have 300hp you should use 15" rims with 195/55 tires"

I cant find any vid or pics for some reason. He rocked the RB in 06, the 2jz was for the 07 season. I dont know what he has now but I think he will still be using the 2jz for the 08 season.

i like david mcnamara cuz he has ridic angle!!! but my favorite drifter would definatly have to be Justin Pawlak, his car is awesome and hes a cool guy; i actually got a ride while he was slidin around a shop in portland when he lived here for a while. i think hes an awesome driver, when he first got his liscense he only had like 240 hp tops in his fc. idk maybe its just the fact that he's a normal guy who just practiced n did exceedingly well. i like haraguchi back when he was in the fc, when i was in the s13 he just beat the **** out of it. i havent seen him in the new s14 yet but im sure he's killin it w/fricken ridic early entries
