I thought this was interesting: professional drifting...
"Cars with motorcycle engines, and motorcycles. Down @ MGM studios florida they have a action stunt show thats pretty cool. I didnt take any pics when i was at the show, should have of all the engines. They have their own machine shop and tear the engines down daily. Couple facts and video.
--The cars are equipped with a 1,300 cc, 150-horsepower motor built inside a custom racing chassis.
--Show cars weigh just 600 kilograms (approximately 1,322 pounds) and consume one liter (approximately one quart) of fuel per show. The cars weigh less than half what a standard production car does. (An average mid-size car weighs approximately 3,500 pounds.)
--In addition to four forward speeds, the cars are equipped with a custom-designed transmission gearbox that also allows four reverse speeds. This enables the cars to go as fast in reverse gears as they do in forward gears. intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0GzIlh-WNk Full scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTXDpeKKeUo
