Here’s a video of the AE86 being put through its paces by the Drift King himself, Keiichi Tsuchiya. Not so much drifting in the current sense, but hustling the Corolla in his style on a race track. As much as I can appreciate the skills that go into drifting, I prefer to see a car being driven as fast as possible, not just for show. In the next video, he’s pitted against a newer Civic EK9 in a three lap grudge race.

This reminds me an awful lot of the Japanese manga Initial D, about a small-town delivery boy who competes in street races in his Toyota AE86 Truneo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_D
Awesome video. It's what I want in a car now but can't have.
Damn, i must have seen that clip countless times and it´s still good. One of my all-time favourite cars.
God... Pitting a AE86 against a version of the Civic the U.S never saw.. is amazing. And its funny.. the guy in the Civic is TRYING to make it go faster.. and it wont. Yet the AE86 keeps spooooling on the power... Imagine taking the current version of the two cars today... I wonder which would do better. This.. I enjoy. The current shit... I do not.
