Well, this is not a beemer either:

As for MX-5, just found this video:

7:58?! Jeez... That actually calls into question the 8:20 time from the Subaru BRZ posted earlier. The guy claims the car's stock with tire and brake pad upgrade only. I've only ever blipped the throttle on a stock Toyota 86. The engine seems to be a lot less eager to rev up than one with TRD intake and exhaust. Have to wonder what kind of time an 86 seriously loaded with TRD parts could do in the hands of skilled (neurotypical 9_9) driver...

 

That high-end Porsche was slowing him down... Find a good base to modify and you'll be fighting up there with the big guys.

Of course the man's got amazing hands.

 

Here's another example of David beating High-End Goliases:

It looks impressive, but it's a really old-fashioned way of cornering, devised at the dawn of automobile racing. While a young Stirling Moss looked real good drifting a lightweight Jag XK-120 around Donnington Park in 1950, it's now the slowest way to get around a corner. I don't get the appeal. But then I don't get drag racing either, so what do I know? 

 

Yes, drag racing is just moronic...

 

But drifting wastes time and tires, it's got no place in race-driving.

It was probably made popular by MTV, that great bastion of refined culture...

If so, it was Japanese MTV. Our Japanese friends came up with the "sport"!

 

Drifting makes sense in snow or gravel rallying or at the Trophée Andros, not on tarmac:

on the contrary.  this golden eared man is clearly evaluating the condition of his mains.  

 

That's obviously a digital stethoscope and he's listening for wall resonances.
