We all know sideways is slow. Kicking the tail out and sending the rear tires blazing may take a heaping helping of skill, but it won't win you any races. That doesn't make it any less awesome, however.
Icon (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/icon) has gone through the trouble of crafting yet another drift battle between motorcycle and car (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/13/video-drift-battle-pits-mazda-rx7-against-kawasaki-zx10/), and this time, two specially built Triumph Speed Triple (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/triumph speed triple) bikes throw down against a 550-horsepower Ford Mustang Cobra (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang) piloted by a fictional officer of the law. The trio commence tearing through the rolling hills of mythical High Plains County before facing off.
Admittedly, the drift scene isn't typically our bag of tricks, but this is one of the more entertaining videos we've seen in a good while. Between the bark of the FoMoCo V8 and the wail of the big-bore Triumph Triples, there's enough audio glory on hand to keep us up at night. Throw in some excellent tunes and better videography, and you've got us hooked. Watch the video all the way through to the end for some hair-raising outtakes, including at least one roll over. Hit the jump (http://www.mnfords.com/2012/01/13/motorcycle-vs-car-drift-battle-2-debuts-someone-called-the-cop/#continued) to check it out.Continue reading Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 2 debuts, someone called the cops (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/13/motorcycle-vs-car-drift-battle-2-debuts-someone-called-the-cop/)
