I may never stop smiling. Extra points for the flannel shirt and cowboy boots! And where do I find hitchhikers who look like that?

It looked like he was either using a sequential tranny or an automatic. Where do you get one of those for 3000 Ft Pounds of tq?

What I meant was what kind of transmission do they use to handle this amount of power?

I think they could've had mad drama points though if the car that first came out of the garage was the red S13 so that you think the trucker came out in that, THEN have the dude blow past the 240 in the Freightliner.

But still, awesome video And damn, hitchhiker was a hottie!

The Gulf livery for the win!
Did you also notice in the credits that the tires are handmade? I think that translates to "not cheap."

I think after the 240sx ran through the slalom cones the truck should have come out and just run over each cone rather than tried to pass in the slalom. Afterall, the truck hit the last cone.

Nice. Sure beats a bunch of Nissans and barely dressed Asian girls.... Or does it??? I don't have the time nor the patience for a CDL so I'll stick with my s13.

I've noticed that racers can drift a lot better than drifters can race.

There is much wisdom in that statement.
