...and that car is intimidating when its right behind you.

We were at Willow Springs drifting a last month at a private event... when he was running behind me I could hear and feel the roar of the V8 closing in fast every time and all I could see was bright orange and a cloud of smoke filling the rear view mirror.

I would assume most would get nervous when drifting with a D1 driver. God, I would kill for that experience.

Especially when my track car is very underpowered at the moment... not for long though

I find it beneficial being on the track with pro drivers, or even just good drivers, to learn their lines, when they initiate and driving styles.

yeah, they say learning the proper line can be tougher than actual car control (even though they go hand in hand lol).

His VQ didnt seem to like the supercharger very much so it was short lived in his competitive career... haha. The other Z still has the SR20 in it.

Forsbreg has that Z dialed. Saw him running at Gymkhana last march. Looked super good. The battle between him and Haraguchi at FD Long Beach was gangster.
