Maligned for its old-timey solid rear axle setup, the Mustang remains a favorite of oversteering hoons like Vaughn, and with 315 HP it's only a throttle blip away from tail-out super-happy-fun-time. This particular run for 0-60 magazine happened at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and trumped the previous 4137 foot record with a solid 6285 feet of driftage. The Guinness Book of World Records hasn't yet certified the attempt, but the video evidence should make the claim Bullitt-proof (hehe). Hopefully this kind of thing doesn't become the next measuring stick of performance like the Nurburgring or quarter mile times, as only tire manufacturers would be the true winners in such stunts.

He chastises the previous record holder for going around in a big circle, but then he does the exact same thing.

Either way it looked cool. I would've liked to see what the tires looked like after all that.

Pretty cool but I agree that it is a lame way to measure the longest drift.

I would not have cut away on some of the transitions either since it lessens the validation of authenticity.

Imagine that - 300+ HP with skinny *** crappy tires tends to lead to traction loss.

Never mind that drifting is quite possibly the lamest "sport" ever...its as bad as Hot Import Nights with Nopi.

Maybe I should change my board name to Negative Nancy.

“When you throw cars at walls at 90 mph they don’t always go the way we want them to,” said Vaughn Gittin, Jr. after hitting the wall at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in his 2010 Ford Mustang. more on Formula Drift 2010 Falken Ford Mustang Wrecked and Repaired at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

Yep, that is pretty much all those are good for! Fun, but not exactly something they should be proud of. Then again probably more interesting than the longest finger nails in the world.

Im disapointed, i thought they would go like 140mph and then go into a drift from there and slide until they couldnt slide anymore.

a circle is kinda dumb.

I like in the preview before he drifts it shows him acting like a dumb douchbag right next to the interstate.."Hi there, heres a disclaimer saying dont respect me." He just seems like an ordinary red neck mustang owner now, that can drive.
