i think its like the viper in that it has too much hp and its something that isnt easily obtained by drifters.

But id personally rather see a cadilac drift. the road corse cadis look great and if they set it up for drifting i think it would do pretty good.

That will never happen in real life. RHD Vettes don't exist.

I think it has alot to do with cost. Unless its factory backed (like the GTO and Viper) its probably not going to happen. Its more likely you'll see cheap domestics being used. Anyway, if I remember correctly, Drift Showoff 03 in Texas had a Z06 place 3rd.

I forget when exactly but I think it was aroung 4 or 5 months ago, one of the Chevy commercials during the football games showed a corvette drifting around. It was actually a pretty cool commercial.

yeah you'll never see a factory backed vette because gm doesn't need any help selling the vette and you'll hardly ever see you drifting because of the price of parts my mom had to pay $65 to have the running light bulb changed cause we didn't have a jack to fit under the car but the good thing is now we're getting a lift

its not the price of the car its the parts

I was talking to the owner of MSI and he races his vette but now hes building a BMW because "It's just getting to exspensive to race a vette"

That is a good photochop. It might have to go to my background, lol.

That vid was nice too. That Vette looked pretty good after he got the drift smoothed out. It seems fast too. The angle was pretty low(compared to the Camero) and it looked like there was a lot of grip there, a whole lot of grip.

I'm guessing there no vids of the Drift showoff with the Vette.
