Drift King Keiichi Tsuchiya Attempts to Slide an 800 HP Dodge Hellcat Red Eye

[ChargerChallenger]

Can the man who popularized drifting make a 800 HP muscle legend slide against its will?

Even for the best drivers, 800 horsepower is an insane number. Yet, Japan’s motorsport heart and soul, Keiichi Tsuchiya, is no stranger to a challenge. This time, it comes in the form of a Dodge Challenger. But, no average Challenger either, but rather the 800 horsepower SRT Hellcat Red Eye Wide Body.

I hope he knows about turning TC off.

Ha, even after they called “headquarters” he must not have done it right.

Trying to drive it like he would a GTR, but that's not what it is & will never drive/respond that way.

Ah so! Origato!

Arigato gozemashita!

what in the hell is the dinging at first? did they leave the seat belt warning active when he's using a 5 point?

like me, it's heavy and does not want to stop.

my conclusion, they didn't really kill the TC (I wrote a fair number of posts on this) and are simply stuck with paddle shifting it with a partial disable. And he triggers the wipers at one point too
