Non music version of this popular video by popular demand. Music cuts off after I say how loud the damn car is... Sam Hubinette (2010 SRH / Dodge / BFG Challenger) and Andrew Comrie-Picard AKA "ACP" (SHR / Dodge / BFG Viper) take out their new Dodge cars for their first test day before Formula D. Sam had just finished the car prior to testing and ACP had all of 20 minutes behind the wheel of Sam's old beast. Asking Sam about the Challenger before he hit the track he simply said "It works", and did it ever.
@JimmyVDitti well if you can afford it, then yeah that would be the best engine for the job. i was just talking about your average big block v8 engine which usually maxxes out at like 5500-6500 rpms. Another thing about nascar engines is they're made of almost all aluminum so they dont weigh a thing, unlike most v8s, especially big blocks. a big part of drifting is weight, which really affects whether your car will actually drift into the corner or fly off the track.

@xXxdaguitarfreakxXx Not Tanner Foust's old Scion he used to drive... had a nascar V8 and probably revved upwards of 9k. And the whole car probably didn't way any more than 2500lbs

@couchfort I LOVE v8s, but they have a lower RPM range and are a lot heavier, which are both bad for drifting

@socibetcicakgoreng Hardly call it an "experiment", considering most muscle cars, including the Challenger, are FR layout. If anything, it's the next step forward in drifting, considering you can push a big block V8 a lot harder than a Japanese engine. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing a gorgous import doing its thing, but don't think for a minute they're the only cars for the job.
