Motor Trend picked an interesting set of cars to put up against each other in a single test, an all wheel drive Nissan GT-R , and a couple of rear wheel drive converted Scion tC’s. The Scion’s normally compete in the Formula Drift series. The GT-R, we normally see on the streets.
Check out the video. The Motor Trend videos have really been improving. I like what Ed Loh is doing with the videos he is putting together.

The numbers, since they did test the cars. 135 mph is huge mph for the Rockstar Drift car. 128 mph out of the four cylinder RSR car is not a bad number either. Considering drift cars are setup to spin the tires as much as accelerate, they both turn decent quarter mile times.
