That really is AMAZING! Well done! My hat is off to that guy! I think he has a bit of practice at that!

I could probably do about 90-95% of the stuff he did in that movie with my 81, though I could go through the course alot faster if I didnt drift through some of the sections (like the first corner and around the building)

And agreed with James it was amazing driving done by the fellow.

There is a good bit of rubber visible already on the pavement from previous runs.

I wonder how many "takes" were involved in putting together that segement. You can see that a number of separate scenes were edited together by how the camera that's mounted on the car shows up in different locations on it at different points during the video, and not at all some of the time.

There is a driving school that teaches that kind of driving.

I like how they retained the door chime on the car at the end. You would never want to mess with that safety device!!!

Too cool, but it would have been better with an overdubbed 928 engine soundtrack.

Isn't that the same place they film the mythbusters?
