It seems that no matter how chassis and engine technology evolves, the good old Tug Of War scheme never ceases to deliver entertainment. The latest example of this comes from a pair of professional drifters who have decided to play this game.
We're talking about two big names here, Chris Forsberg and Ryan Tuerck. Using a set of reliable chains, they tie up their vehicles and get things rolling. Or not.
Given their profession, the pair have brought drift cars to this battle. Chris gets behind the wheel of a 600 HP V8-powered Infiniti M45, while Ryan uses a Scion FR-S powered by a 2JZ engine.
Yes you sideways aficionados, these are the cars the two drivers use to make a living. Don't expect them to show any mercy though.
The pair of drift machines burn rubber together as is they wanted to take revenge on their drivers for all the abuse. Well, if the was the vehicles' goal, it was achieved, since the two drifters are covered in more smoke than they're used to.
We have 1,100 horses going nowhere but to the tires
That 2JZ in the Scion delivers a hefty 500 HP, which means that we have a total of 1,100 horses, while none of the cars is going anywhere. In fact, if we were to make a ratio between the distance traveled and the amount of badassery deployed, this would have to be one of the most extreme Tug Of War episodes we've ever seen. Then there's the soundtrack, with the violent setups of the two cars bringing aural apocalypse onto us.
Sure, such stunts are always pointless and they're not even as record-worthy as many tricks than can be performed with drift cars. But we have to admit they bring a ton of fun along with all that smoke.
