US VS. JAPAN DRIFT OFF
US drift stars, Ken Gushi and Rhys Millen challenge 2005 D1 Champion Yasuyuki Kazama for a drift battle. Ken even shows up with his 500hp Ford Mustang he competes in Formula D, but hold on kid. To make all conditions equal, all three must drive the same car, a COMPLETELY stock Mazda MX-5 Roadster. You know who’s really good when they can turn a stock vehicle sideways. After the battle, Keiichi and Kazama take Ken’s Mustang for spin. Also featuring model/drifter Verena Mei.
