I know I do & think Dyrdek is a genius cooking this up!!! Not to forget The skateboard car driven by Master Driver Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Rob Dyrdek featured on the new episode of Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory. Original air date: 7/12 ...

Reinforced Special 500 HP Mustang w/SS body/bottom trays for slides etc..I know, NOT everyone likes this type of driving but I do & get sidewazzz nearly everytime the SL goes out

This abuse would destroy a regular car, I have NO intention of replicating it just appreciate the SKILLZZZ if you know the sport of Drifting you'll agree. Enjoy or Hate..

That was kinda cool. Having always been a fan of powerslides, I went to a Ford Racing sponsored drifting event and came out impressed at the skill and precision of the drivers. Fun stuff. The CLS definitely gets wiggly every time it goes out

The SL would kick *** as it has a ton of torque to power out of slides without having to keep the rpm near redline. It would spit out some nice smokies while powering out too. The only issue I have with MB is the open diff and the resulting snap oversteer on uneven surfaces. It's fine almost all the time...but that once in a blue moon it comes around damn quick.

Dyno Mode is damn fun if you have experience without ABS.

My only gripe with Mulholland is million potholes. It's a legendary spot out of its prime. Fun to hit a few times anyway though.
