  • Tuned goes to Bondurant School of High Performance Driving to meet up with Formula Drift driver Corey Hosford and his 800 HP Blown LS3 Nissan 350Z Drift car. We learn what separates a drift car from a race car, and Matt gets to work on his drifting technique behind the wheel of a monster race car.

    Why do people hate on muscle or JDM or etc they are all cars they are all different they all have different purpose car enthusiast should love all cars I mean look what happens when you combine them you still get an amazing machine so next time you drive by a muscle or JDM acknowledge their beauty why cant we all get along I love muscle cars but I drive a JDM so hopefully we end up in a car world not a JDM or muscle world :)

    • @Boberation
      @Boberation 9 лет назад +5

      I agree 100% The whole argument of JDM vs. muscle or euro or whatever else is ridiculous. I would absolutely love a Silvia or R34 but on the other hand owning a Nova, Firebird, GTO, Camaro, Mustang, Chevelle (none later than 1969 for me though), etc would be a completely different experience. They're different styles of cars which generally have their good and bad sides.

  • @Sim2Real.
    @Sim2Real. 9 лет назад +31

    Its absolutely incredible how stupid people are. They are complaining about the car having a v8 bla bla bla. Stop de bullshit, for drifting you need horsepower, and it´s much better when you have a motor that can deliver you instant power, just like a v8 does. Less lag better drifts. Of course people will disagree with me, but i know you can drift with no problems with a turbo car, of course! But i honestly prefer a really powerful v8 than an twin turbo 2jz. Personally i love the sound of a 2jz, its a total eargasm. But turbos have lag. Of course antilag, still my answer would be a v8 with lots of torque for isntant power. I am not a v8 fanboy or anything. Just my opinion, hope you guys can be respectful.

      so wondering how fast it is in a quarter mile automatically implies that that's ALL we care about with cars? NO, that's not the only thing I'm interested in. i wouldn't be at a video about a drift car if i didn't give a shit about it. straight line speed is cool, drifting is cool, motoGP is cool, F1 is cool, the 24hr of Le Mans is cool.

      LSx motors are super reliable for competition. Its why so many drivers use them in their builds. As much as I love the VQ in a z33 or a 13b in an FD, they're much more expensive to maintain in race conditions.

      @SparksHardcoreMusic 10 лет назад +4

      TheRealTieLUR Real drifters have money, that 350Z cost over 100 grand. The engine alone is over 30 grand, and thats if its not the more expsensive one which is 45 grand, I know because I was just looking at the same thing when looking for a block to use in my own drift project. They use V8s for the torque, yes you can get shit tons of power out of some 4 and 6 cylinders but you won't get the torque. Torque is a major plus to have in drifting. A real drifter knows that. If you watch D1, Formula Drift, you would see both kinds of engine are used, but the V8s are taking over because the other guys are having trouble keeping competitive with what they have with their turbo'd up JDM engines. That came from the mouths of the drifters themselves, some of the guys who are making the switch from JDM to Muscle under the hood.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

    Because this one has 800 hp. And unlike a sky-high boosted V6, it's actually reliable and makes tons of low-end torque with immediate throttle response.

    when you only have three sets of tires, there are only so many shots you can get. Ideally, we'd need 7 or 8 sets to get all the shots we'd need. I burned through a single set in 7 minutes of drifting.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

    We showed you a Ford Truck that started with a V8 and was swapped for a twin turbo six, and all anyone did was bitch that it didn't have a V8 in it. Plus, pro drifters don't get points for making "creative" horsepower. They get points for going as fast as possible and making as much smoke as possible, all while trying to not grenade their engines. The LS engine is an excellent platform for a reliable pro drift car.

    we have one rule for tuned as per our executive producers: No stock vehicles. That's our only guideline to work by. So far, we've shown three street legal vehicles (Venom GT, SDHQ Raptor, VCMC FR-S), and two track-only vehicles (AVI Corvette, KSPort 350Z). Of these five vehicles, only the AVI Corvette did not start with a stock OEM vehicle. So technically, 80% of the episodes so far this season are modified street cars. TST is for street cars, Tuned is for modified cars. It isn't that hard.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire 11 лет назад

    that may be true at the amateur level, but at the professional level, you need a V8 (in the US). In tandem drifting, if the lead car is going so fast that the chasing car can't keep up, the lead car will win the duel. When a couple of guys did V8's, they became so dominant that in order to be competitive in the sport, everyone else had to go with V8's too. There are exceptions of course, but most teams don't have the money to do some crazy build and the LS is affordable, reliable, and powerful.

    It's not about capacity with the LS engine. The engine itself is physically very small compared to other "advanced" V8's, so you can fit it in almost anything, like a car that came with a V6. It may be simple, but simple is good when you're racing and don't want to replace the engine every season. European fanboys won't ever understand the genius that is the LS motor, but people should be more open minded about what racing drivers look for in an engine: small, light, powerful, reliable. LS.

    It's essentially a 1989 Ford Transit with XJ220 running gear. It was made for Jaguar to "secretly" test the XJ220's running gear prior to the production car's launch.
    So it's a van with a 3.5L twin-turbocharged V6 making 542hp and 476lb-ft of torque. 0-60mph in under 5 seconds, 0-100mph in under 10.

    Well you do have to score it somehow, and it's a difficult enough skill that it's worthy of SOME type of competitive series. If you can find a better way of scoring it....
