One of the coolest videos I have seen!
an RX-7 without the rotary is just lame
lu pikir ban murah?mentang2 orang kaya lu,dasar ganteng!
Great video, very cool to check out the various ways they used the Go Pro HD. Not to mention so e badass machines and drivers.
@Vermeullen so if you watch a lot of drifting… why do you know absolutely nothing about it? why suggest there’s a winner in this? they’re not competing with each other AT ALL, just putting on a show. the start line and checkered flag are jokes. and they’re not even being judged on anything, which is the only way to determine a winner in drifting. but you come along like a retard saying “the car would have won it.” there’s nothing to win, dumbshit. uhh.. how am i trying to be a moderator??
@Vermeullen …that was a complete misuse of the idiom. good job, dumbass. “the rotary engine is reliable within a certain window of operation, and outside of that window, it tends to distintegrate rapidly” “Turbo rotary fails usually because of blown apex seals due to detonation and o-ring failure due to overheated.” that’s from rx7club about the 13B. and they just made you look like an idiot. americans swap V8s because they’re cheap and they make excellent power STOCK unlike JDM engines.
LOL, thanks for trying to give me lessons about this, but guess what, you’re preaching to the choir. Actually if you knew anythyng about wankel engines, youd know, they are pretty reliable on the past few yeasr, as their internal friction problems were resolved with new designing of the rotors. But I guess americans only like one type of engines, their v8s… Only know how to race with them. PS: I watch a lot of drifting here in japan. You try to be the moderator , but you keep being unpleasant
@streetskin drfting is predominantly for cars, yes, but it looks sick on a motorcycle too. you’re hating on them for making a good show for us? and if his nickname is “Apex” and he’s a sponsored rider i’ll bet he’s much better at “cornering” on a motorcycle than you will ever be. don’t be an ass
@Vaughnlesterinoz those V8 cars aren’t light like the RX7 (at 2300lbs it’s a feather), and most don’t have suitable suspensions for drifting. i agree rotaries are beautiful engines….. when they’re actually working lol. many of them break down all the time and break down even more when you try and make this kind of power. aluminum V8s like the corvette’s LS1 are just better for drifting. cheap, reliable, torque-crazy even when stock, and easy to swap into just about anything.
@Vermeullen it doesn’t handle much better with a wankel. the 13B weighs 410lbs and the corvette LS1 only weighs 430 and isn’t much longer. and if you knew the first thing about wankel engines you’d know they’re unreliable as hell. the V8 is much cheaper to make power with, it’s more reliable, and the torque band is perfect for drifting. so yeah he knows better than you do. and if you knew anything about drifting you’d know isn’t about crossing a finish line first… neither of them won anything
@Vaughnlesterinoz You’re absolutely right. Why the hell did they switched tha original motor, for that? It probably handles better with the wankell engine. Maybe if they’d stick to the original, the car would have won it.
@Vaughnlesterinoz it could be his preference is Rx7 and plus its handling is awsome
@mesikamoto It takes more skill with a bike then with a car
I have been riding bikes my whole life, srsly “drifting” is for cars not bikes.Car drifting looks more cool aniways.
Very nice movie good works XD!!
@kowclubproductions indeed
@streetskin I guess you have never heard of the Supermoto classification. Although you are right, they don’t call it drift it’s called “to back it in”
@icecoldbrew92 ya, people put those in miata’s too. such an amazing motor
@meinl69 Is that Dimebag Darrell?
the car was trying not to flatten the jerk on the motorcycle.
I ain’t hatin but I’m a little confused as to why you would want to put a v8 into an rx7. Rotaries are beautiful engines and there are already a lot of v8 cars out there that could be used for drifting.
@kowclubproductions thats fuckin intense
@icecoldbrew92 ya ls1 out of a corvette
does that rx7 have a v8 swap?
@towseef360 It’s because the bike only has one rear tyre meaning it takes allot more skill to drift a bike and you’ll never be able to drift as much on a bike as you can on a car. Bikes are not designed to race like that mate
