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

http://youtube.com/watch?v=juA5x4RNiWY

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
