A Family Affair: A Dad-Daughter Drifting Showdown

The sun was shining bright as I stood alongside my dad, ready to take on our first-ever drifting competition. The tension was palpable, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. My dad had been preparing for this moment for weeks, tweaking his car's engine and fine-tuning its performance. I, on the other hand, was more interested in making sure he didn't embarrass himself.

As we lined up at the starting line, my dad gave me a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, kiddo," he said. "I've got this." But little did he know, his confidence would be put to the test as soon as the green light turned on. The sound of screeching tires filled the air as we both launched our cars forward, hurtling towards the first turn. I was rooted to the spot, watching in awe as my dad expertly navigated the drift.

However, just as it seemed like he had the upper hand, disaster struck. My dad missed his gears, and I knew I couldn't let him have all the fun. I had been looking at the line, making sure I didn't go over the edge, but it was clear that my dad's lack of experience had given me a slight advantage. The crowd cheered as we crossed the finish line, with my dad coming in second place.

Despite his disappointment, my dad took it in stride. "That wasn't fair," he said, chuckling. "You got lucky." I couldn't help but feel bad for him, knowing that he had been so close to taking the win. But as we stepped out of our cars and exchanged congratulations, I realized that this was about more than just winning or losing – it was about sharing a moment with my dad.

The real challenge came when my mom took her turn behind the wheel. She was nervous and hesitant at first, but as she gained confidence, she began to show off some impressive driving skills. I had given her better tires and tweaked her boost settings to try and give her an edge, but it seemed like my efforts were for naught.

As we lined up for a final showdown, my dad gave me a sly grin. "I'm going to take you down this time," he said. But just as the green light turned on, I caught him out of the corner of my eye and forgot to shift. My dad took advantage of the mistake, expertly navigating the drift and taking the lead.

But in a stunning turn of events, my mom proved herself to be a formidable opponent. Despite her initial nervousness, she had managed to catch up to us and was now in contention for the win. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as we crossed the finish line, with my dad coming out on top by a hair's breadth.

As we packed up our cars and said our goodbyes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. We had all had an amazing time, despite the ups and downs of the competition. And who knows – maybe next year we'll do it again, with even better results.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enright here cash but I managed to get both of my parents who have been separated the entirety of my life to agree to drag race both of their cars all it took was a three mile long drag strip and a little bit of cash persuasion both of these cars have been modified on the channel my mom Solstice which she's had since like 2006 we turboed and then we wound up putting an LS3 in and we actually installed a full turbo kit on her car um my neighbors are gonna freaking kill me is that all you're worried about right now it's so freaking oh my God what did you do you put another engine in it that's a V8 and then my dad's car which I got from for Father's Day we did an engine swap with an rv25 and a pretty big Turbo do you know what this is not for me yes it is it's a Skyline oh nobody's ever done this you don't want it I got it for you I've never enjoy anything like this for me do we have to say anything is it a whole new engine oh my God you didn't tell me that wow wow good shift I'm impressed there was a Mustang behind this damn he's not wrong first up we have my beautiful mother who I'm very very surprised was willing to agree to this you asked and how can I refuse now her car I feel like a lot of you guys don't think she ever drives because it is pretty Rowdy right it's got a big Texas Speed Cam and a LS3 but you actually drive your car I drive it a couple of times a week depending on the weather and where I'm going it's loud so when I leave in the morning if I'm going to the beach and walking I think my neighbors might hate me I love my car I've always liked this car what's the fastest you think you've ever been in this car maybe 65. so the highway part of our agreement my mom is basically going to determine where the finish line is so if she's comfortable to go to 150 miles an hour we might be doing a half mile um your car would run out of gearing so it's not even an option okay I will do my best I will try I can drop the steering wheel down and it blocks the speedometer anyway perfect what do you think about your competition we'll see what I can do all right now this is my dad you guys have probably seen him in some videos before I knew that he would agree to this race if I'm being honest ever since I gave him this car he's been racing every single thing he could ever get a chance to pretty much yup sounds good I'm used to competing that in this particular Arena the best man or woman who's going to win anyway so it's going to be a lot of fun you kept calling me for like three weeks because you thought I was joking yeah knowing you Adam anything can happen and you were practicing before you came down here yeah one run on the highway where with police officers you know so that was a little bit limited to bring back my 16 year old to 20 year old days when I did this stuff kind of uh well maybe I'll just say unethically what's the fastest you've ever been in your car 92 miles per hour 145k I mean I like it I get a lot of attention compared to my old Chevy that I have and get to talk to a lot of kids that want to buy it all the time and everything someone would go up to him and say hey that's a really nice car and my dad was letting just random kids drive his car which is it was great it was really great of you but we don't do that in today's world there's a lot of interest wherever we go people want to know whoa that's a nice car now just to show that this wasn't a gimmick we got the grand prize right here cash I think seeing this let me tell you that much or maybe they will say that yeah maybe maybe we should bleep that out Mike yeah you want to say it's all good well we're gonna get this done for you yeah we're about to do some practice runs but before we do that we're gonna go back to the compound and we're going to take a deeper look at how these cars stacked up and see if we can predict who's gonna win there are three important factors that are going to make a difference as to whether my mom's car is faster or my Dad's weight power and the only thing that connects the car to the ground the tires we put the cars on some scales and my mom's car weighed in at 29.92 pounds my dad's car waiting at 29 22 pounds 70 pound Advantage but I found it interesting the solstice obviously weighs a little bit more than stock because it has a V8 when it naturally came with a four cylinder and my dad's car actually weighs a little bit more than it should stock maybe the rb25 Neo is heavier than an rb20 but I was hoping that the skyline would have way more of a weight Advantage because I know that it doesn't have a power Advantage we're lucky enough to have our own Dino here on site so we can compare the power outputs of both cars in the same environment on the same exact Dyno instead of comparing numbers and honestly my dad's car's never been on a Dyno so curious to see what it makes see if we can predict who the winner of the race is going to be so I know that this car in the past made 430 horsepower on the dyno over at Titan Motorsports I want to run a my Dyno which historically reads a little bit lower than elsewhere just to make sure we have a perfect Apples to Apples comparison with my dad's car my mom makes 400 horsepower as I predicted a little bit less than 430 but I can tell you right now I don't think the skylines anywhere near close to this I genuinely have no idea how much power this car makes it was Street Tuned it's never been on the dyno it probably actually has some power to be had with some messing with the tune but rb25 Neo stock location 3071 your guess is as good as mine thank you all right so 323 wheel actually better than I thought this car would be it's at about 10 pounds of boost I imagine the tune is pretty conservative knowing that it was going to my dad knowing how similar the weights are I think my dad is going to be at a massive disadvantage I thought there was going to be maybe like a 20 or 30 horsepower uh difference and as much as I'd love for my mom to win I don't want this to be a walk in the park for her so I think I'm gonna ring up Jamie and see if we can add a couple pounds of boost to this thing to at least maybe shoot to get it in the 350 range now there was this stinky old map still on the car even though this car is on a standalone and it's map based I think we just never really had the time to change it and uh filters old and stinky and then as you guys know having a map is pretty restrictive for airflow so I got my dad set up with a new k n filter same stuff we used on the race cars I had a little uh 45 degree three inch pipe left over that I kind of rigged up to make work but now my dad will have a filter that lasts and makes good power just got off the phone with Jamie and he was comfortable to turn this thing up from 10 pounds of boost all the way up to 14 pounds still conservative still safe but isn't going to be enough to make a difference and just cracked 350 horsepower 30 wheel may not sound like a huge difference but look at this not only is he making 30 horsepower more at Redline all of this power underneath the curve literally from the second of the turbo comes on around like 3 500 RPM he will have that power everywhere so it's not like some cars where you add more boost than you just pick it up at Redline it should transform the way the car feels we do still have a pretty big Power differential between this car and the solstice though so he's gonna need the driver mod looking at the power to weight ratios it's clear that the solstice definitely has the advantage but that only matters if it can put the power down so what we're going to do we're gonna take both cars and we're gonna go do some test launches and we're going to look at the 0 to 60 times for both cars and the 60 foot times if you're a fan of drag racing you know that the winner of the race is usually determined what happens in that first 60 feet so I'm gonna use a little GPS device to get some data to see how both cars actually perform first up we have my mom's Pontiac Solstice this car is on 245 our triple eight ours pretty sticky tire and I imagine it should put down some good results interesting fact I'm gonna launch the car in second gear because first is pretty much useless this is the gearbox out of the factory car and it's geared for like a four-cylinder foreign look a 2.2 second 60 foot is definitely not the greatest but being on unprepped concrete with a street Tire pretty solid mid 4 seconds 0-60 in a manual car very good I don't think that this car is going to be able to do the same but you never know the good old Skyline might surprise us now this car knowing that my dad likes to drive it year round it's actually in 215 basically all seasons the PS4s it's a good tire but I don't know that it's gonna have the stick that it needs so we'll do a pass and figure out if we need a level the playing field mmm there you go 4.96 the cars are actually a lot more evenly matched than I would have expected I'm sure it helps that we turn into the power a little bit on the skyline but as you can see from the 60 foot and from the tire squeal noises the solstice definitely has a tire advantage and we know it has a power advantage and I don't want this to be a clean sweep so we're gonna hook that up with set of nto ones for the rear this is a 235 40. even though the solstice has a 245 R Triple Eight nt01 is a similar if not maybe a little bit more aggressive compound slightly less wide but will be a way better match than what the tire is on it now and should give my dad a Fighting Chance even though he has a power deficit now that we got nt1s on it let's see what 30 . there it is with the nto ones on my dad's car we were able to shave almost two tenths off of the 60 foot improve the 0-60 time to almost be the same as my mom's car and now I think we've got a pretty even match up my mom's got more power for the top end but my dad's got a little bit more dig off the line now I think it's just up to the drivers of the radio Bates chased off a bobcat twice really so just to let you know how was it I wasn't trying to if you see a bobcat just want to let you know I'm not even joking about it I'm like I'm dead serious can I stop and pick him up the last thing you need to tell my mom right now on a practice lap but just a heads up on it all right all right so in addition to all that we've talked about with racing we want to keep an eye out for Bobcats so what I want you to focus on you're gonna start in second gear try to go until you hit Redline okay but then just make sure that you're not pedaling it and you're floored because that's when your car will be fastest and then whenever you don't feel comfortable anymore that's when I left all right let's see what you can do nice for it all right I thought they go down a little bit work on roasted the clutch clutch I'm going to teach you how to start a little bit better yeah so when you're leaving the line you don't need to slip the clutch you can almost just like kind of dump it you're going to need a floor it more I was floored you floored like halfway through you didn't do bad but like look my dad's not gonna go easy on you you got the car you just got to put the tunnel in the middle we'll try and exercise next time I'm gonna I'm gonna be like there's a truck coming behind you quick you gotta go you don't have to do great great great yup for it there's a car you're good shift way better my bag's underneath my clutch oh okay oh you got an Apple down there is that half eat an apple yes I put it there because there was no garbage yeah we'll make sure to get it cleared out that was great I want you to try to shift a little faster right now just move your yeah that's better right now so now we just do the same thing again but you do that and then you'll be great great timing redo it what you slip the clutch a lot again no I didn't I let my foot right off of it no you no you were you were you also you slept the clutch and then you burn the tires a little bit great great great Lauren great great job shift great job keep it floor Keep It Forward keep going keep going keep going that white line perfect white line right before 13 I'm gonna put the finish line that was a great run how'd it feel scary that was good thank you is it the first time you probably went that fast in this car ever I think I might have had it up to 80. yeah maybe that's great I think what the thing my dad's going to try to overdrive the car you're just nice and smooth and I think I got a real chance as long as the pedal pedal's touching the floor that's all you got to do with this thing to go fast now I need a recording of you on my floor floored flooring well that was good a shot I will do my best I'll tell you when the finish line is we don't have markers up right now but it's gonna be a little bit before the 13. we are racing together versus at once yep and we'll uh you're probably not gonna need to go into fifth gear okay relax when our hands come down all right I'm Gonna Get You fourth we're gonna need to go to Fourth we're gonna need it oh yeah it's good off the line though yeah third gear ain't what it used to be huh oh it's good I just never went into fortnite yeah I never practiced no this thing's fast huh yeah no I never use fourth I mean I couldn't do it on practice that way obviously so right now just go three to four just make sure you know where it is all right wow that was great good job good job all right fourth keep going keep going keep going the Finish Line's gonna be right here that was still good though you stayed in it yeah so you're like your body knew exactly to stay in it until it gained traction that was so you'll slow down and then you'll use the left side cars were fast enough to burn tires like that wow yeah your one two shift is gangster all right practice a little bit I think you'll be good that was great was it that was really good I don't know it's good what's not good yeah but you left some art do you see him leaving skid marks I think that was in second gear that like strip right in front of the white patch that's you wow yeah I don't know what I'm doing but are you ready for another practice Yeah foreign man your shifts are so good I'll put some markers that was good I think the only critique I have second gear you're just letting it ring out a little too much and that's why you're it's not wanting to shift so if you shift second a little sooner you'll be good I'm feeling good how are you feeling now everything is good here I feel I can only do what I can do this is my practice today and uh it's gonna be fun and uh that's about it so make that happen all right we got race number one I honestly have no idea who's gonna win I think my dad's a little bit more scared of the speed than my mom is which is kind of a surprise but I think there's some nerves in all of us so we'll see how it goes good my mom was oh no she let out all right oh she got spooked I know she got scared from the tire spinning oh if she stayed in it she would have been good we'll talk to her and see what she thinks that was such a good launch and what happened you got a little scared from the tire spin so the way that was yours so I know it was a little comfortable I mean even I just I just felt it was going this way so the worst the worst thing you can do in that scenario is to lift all the way you can kind of like feather it so if you want to do that next time all you got to do is kind of feather it a little more in second gear and then when you're in third gear it won't do that okay well you've done this enough times where you know exactly what you need to do I know I just when it did that it freaked me out I know well we're really proud of you you had them off the line that was great I know I settled back down too I was like if it got swirly just keep going yep you'll be fine I believe in you okay you know how to drive think about all those Connecticut snowstorms you're moving through this is nothing yeah the 360's in the driveway yep it wasn't a false start it was a perfect start she actually had you but she spun out and spooked herself a little bit how'd your car feel like I felt I got good shifts that time everything I mean it might have been a little grind but it was good I mean it sounded great from the outside it sounds good hopefully my mom will have the courage to stay in it and I think we have quite the close race okay all right yep I didn't know what happened to her you know and I saw that I started pulling a little bit ahead and then all of a sudden she was gone I said I can't be that much ahead of her you know but she had a false start all right well we'll line them back up all right let's go along come on come on thank you I think my mom just got him what a comeback Yoshi's still in it way past the finish line oh she's gonna be so excited oh I'm I'm like 99 sure I'm gonna call Johan and find out oh that's got to be such a good feeling I want to see that in car I really hope she's like look Johan's calling me right now Johan who got the win mom got the win let's go all right we got a tiebreaker out of us that's awesome thanks John oh what's up I know what a great job yeah he does he does this all the team the first one I really messed up what happened it got squirrely on me and it scared me yeah I don't want to spin or Flip or anything right so that's that's two there's one more to go right you got him oh great job you got the win you knew that though I saw you stop and talk to Johan because it got squirrely again with me yeah but you stayed in it so you had to do how to feel to get beat by a girl no different no I mean your driving was great too like it seemed like a really solid run I didn't hear you grind any gears did you yeah I mean I always liked my car I just I don't believe you do this all the time can you imagine that you just went probably 120 miles an hour thank you don't tell me that I wasn't yeah we don't want to know yeah well that's legal this is the first time yeah I know so but it's still here you're going 120 miles an hour you still want to back down I just don't like the beginning when I get squirrely the good news is the more you guys go the hotter the tires get and the more traction you'll have so we got a tie breaker the best two out of three you won one you won one and this is going to be who gets the cash all right thanks for the talk about pressure yeah I know all right we got the final race winner takes all who's going to take it I have no clue but I'm really looking forward to seeing who it's going to be do my best guys all right foreign wow my dad missed third my mom let out because she was spinning she's gonna be so happy I know it was great she was bouncing off limiter I'm not like I'm not gonna lie I feel bad for my dad because in my head he was going to take the win my mom was gonna not floor it but she she figured it out and she floored it car got loose that was her biggest fear and we saw her like in real time face that let out and keep in it that was amazing I'm really proud of her I did ever think your dad has such good launches that he was gonna take it but that was awesome didn't I get him yeah did I get them well I don't know why I got squirrely in the beginning I think he was nervous of that but I didn't cross over the line something smells funky that was so good you got squirrely yeah but you stayed in it you did exactly what we said and you overcame your fear getting sideways and you stayed in it and that was awesome that was nice Chris thank you I couldn't even look at you I didn't want to know where you were nah I missed the shift and I really got behind oh sorry no problem you stayed in it you were full sideways I know you scared the hell out of me and you're yelling in one ear Colette's going in the other your thing just stay in it stay in it stay in it soon I'm like that's what you got to do I almost didn't shift it I hunt let it hang in I heard I let it hang in third too long I think that would have been a really close race but my dad missed both gears so oh I want I didn't know what happened to him so you won are you happy yeah I'm just yeah I bet you know me and I was looking at the line making sure I didn't go over the line I had the good shift it would have been real close the case is broken oh I know why this is the wrong code good all right it was a close race I'm not gonna lie mom I uh I don't wanna say I have my money on my dad because I I thought that he was gonna win but because I chicken out look I I kind of did he definitely had a huge disadvantage before prior to the race I gave him better tires and turned his boost up to try to make it give him a little bit more of a Fighting Chance but congratulations oh thank you you took the win thank you you know all in the shifting I knew it so so I feel bad don't feel bad that's great but I don't I don't feel I bet you were ruined for yourself were you I wanted to do it because you asked me to do it and you know how chicken I am so I said all this stuff you'll do for me if I ask I had to do what you asked but you know I was you did great to death thank you I'm proud of you and uh I mean yeah you did your first drifting like pretty much halfway down the runway she was I stayed in it I thought she was going into you yeah I was straight though wasn't it you were straight you just weren't in gear I know so I'll line you guys back up I know that you probably didn't like that run because you missed your gears you want to do another one just for fun you still get to keep the money sure unless you want to double or nothing no no no no no no no no no no no I'm not stupid we'll do another one for fun and okay or Circle back okay okay all right all right we got a Bonus race just for fun I know my dad's probably not satisfied with that last run grinding the gear so we'll see if he can get the win if he can make all the shifts all right oh it looks like she might get him on the back half yeah man there's no replacement for displacement but that was a close race my dad got his his launch and it sounded like he went through the gears good so hopefully both of them go home with a smile on their face I gotta say like I expected way more bickering but I feel like there's just like so much tension and wind in the air today yeah I apologize if the audio is not the greatest or if it looks weird that I've been like doing this all up on my parents face but I'm trying to give you guys good audio quality this was like such this was like one of those shower ideas where it's like oh what if I made my parents race oh wait we have this place where we could do it and they both have cars that are fast maybe they'd be down my dad was pretty down but he thought I was joking that my mom definitely took some convincing she is so petrified as a passenger you guys have seen the reaction videos mm-hmm get me out let me out of the car are you are you a dog you knows and as a driver this is probably the fastest she's ever gone in her life this is probably the only time she's ever left a light like this and to see the smile on her face definitely something special and I hope you guys enjoyed kind of watching this all go down that was for fun I got nervous I caught him out of the corner of my eye and like oh all right I was just going to say that was close that maybe you had me by a quarter of a car then I caught you out of the corner of my eye and I I caught that and I forgot to shift then once I shift then I started to move yeah but look like at the line you were like a quarter of a car ahead but which was enough that was good for a rematch yeah definitely that was good but you still got the win yay good work thank you yep any uh it did it when it counted what any final closing thoughts next year what about you that was fun do I need to do it again I don't think so all right well thank you guys for coming out I definitely did not think this was gonna happen and thought this would be like one of those ideas that just dies off as oh imagine we did this so yeah no it's all good it was kind of cool it was kind of cool so thank you guys hope you guys enjoyed the video make sure to like comment subscribe and uh if you see one of these two at the light better watch out excited and he does he does this side of meright here cash but I managed to get both of my parents who have been separated the entirety of my life to agree to drag race both of their cars all it took was a three mile long drag strip and a little bit of cash persuasion both of these cars have been modified on the channel my mom Solstice which she's had since like 2006 we turboed and then we wound up putting an LS3 in and we actually installed a full turbo kit on her car um my neighbors are gonna freaking kill me is that all you're worried about right now it's so freaking oh my God what did you do you put another engine in it that's a V8 and then my dad's car which I got from for Father's Day we did an engine swap with an rv25 and a pretty big Turbo do you know what this is not for me yes it is it's a Skyline oh nobody's ever done this you don't want it I got it for you I've never enjoy anything like this for me do we have to say anything is it a whole new engine oh my God you didn't tell me that wow wow good shift I'm impressed there was a Mustang behind this damn he's not wrong first up we have my beautiful mother who I'm very very surprised was willing to agree to this you asked and how can I refuse now her car I feel like a lot of you guys don't think she ever drives because it is pretty Rowdy right it's got a big Texas Speed Cam and a LS3 but you actually drive your car I drive it a couple of times a week depending on the weather and where I'm going it's loud so when I leave in the morning if I'm going to the beach and walking I think my neighbors might hate me I love my car I've always liked this car what's the fastest you think you've ever been in this car maybe 65. so the highway part of our agreement my mom is basically going to determine where the finish line is so if she's comfortable to go to 150 miles an hour we might be doing a half mile um your car would run out of gearing so it's not even an option okay I will do my best I will try I can drop the steering wheel down and it blocks the speedometer anyway perfect what do you think about your competition we'll see what I can do all right now this is my dad you guys have probably seen him in some videos before I knew that he would agree to this race if I'm being honest ever since I gave him this car he's been racing every single thing he could ever get a chance to pretty much yup sounds good I'm used to competing that in this particular Arena the best man or woman who's going to win anyway so it's going to be a lot of fun you kept calling me for like three weeks because you thought I was joking yeah knowing you Adam anything can happen and you were practicing before you came down here yeah one run on the highway where with police officers you know so that was a little bit limited to bring back my 16 year old to 20 year old days when I did this stuff kind of uh well maybe I'll just say unethically what's the fastest you've ever been in your car 92 miles per hour 145k I mean I like it I get a lot of attention compared to my old Chevy that I have and get to talk to a lot of kids that want to buy it all the time and everything someone would go up to him and say hey that's a really nice car and my dad was letting just random kids drive his car which is it was great it was really great of you but we don't do that in today's world there's a lot of interest wherever we go people want to know whoa that's a nice car now just to show that this wasn't a gimmick we got the grand prize right here cash I think seeing this let me tell you that much or maybe they will say that yeah maybe maybe we should bleep that out Mike yeah you want to say it's all good well we're gonna get this done for you yeah we're about to do some practice runs but before we do that we're gonna go back to the compound and we're going to take a deeper look at how these cars stacked up

better than I thought this car would be it's at about 10 pounds of boost I imagine the tune is pretty conservative knowing that it was going to my dad knowing how similar the weights are I think my dad is going to be at a massive disadvantage I thought there was going to be maybe like a 20 or 30 horsepower uh difference and as much as I'd love for my mom to win I don't want this to be a walk in the park for her so I think I'm gonna ring up Jamie and see if we can add a couple pounds of boost to this thing to at least maybe shoot to get it in the 350 range now there was this stinky old map still on the car even though this car is on a standalone and it's map based I think we just never really had the time to change it and uh filters old and stinky and then as you guys know having a map is pretty restrictive for airflow so I got my dad set up with a new k n filter same stuff we used on the race cars I had a little uh 45 degree three inch pipe left over that I kind of rigged up to make work but now my dad will have a filter that lasts and makes good power just got off the phone with Jamie and he was comfortable to turn this thing up from 10 pounds of boost all the way up to 14 pounds still conservative still safe but isn't going to be enough to make a difference and just cracked 350 horsepower 30 wheel may not sound like a huge difference but look at this not only is he making 30 horsepower more at Redline all of this power underneath the curve literally from the second of the turbo comes on around like 3 500 RPM he will have that power everywhere so it's not like some cars where you add more boost than you just pick it up at Redline it should transform the way the car feels we do still have a pretty big Power differential between this car and the solstice though so he's gonna need the driver mod looking at the power to weight ratios it's clear that the solstice definitely has the advantage but that only matters if it can put the power down so what we're going to do we're gonna take both cars and we're gonna go do some test launches and we're going to look at the 0 to 60 times for both cars and the 60 foot times if you're a fan of drag racing you know that the winner of the race is usually determined what happens in that first 60 feet so I'm gonna use a little GPS device to get some data to see how both cars actually perform first up we have my mom's Pontiac Solstice this car is on 245 our triple eight ours pretty sticky tire and I imagine it should put down some good results interesting fact I'm gonna launch the car in second gear because first is pretty much useless this is the gearbox out of the factory car and it's geared for like a four-cylinder foreign look a 2.2 second 60 foot is definitely not the greatest but being on unprepped concrete with a street Tire pretty solid mid 4 seconds 0-60 in a manual car very good I don't think that this car is going to be able to do the same but you never know the good old Skyline might surprise us now this car knowing that my dad likes to drive it year round it's actually in 215 basically all seasons the PS4s it's a good tire but I don't know that it's gonna have the stick that it needs so we'll do a pass and figure out if we need a level the playing field mmm there you go 4.96 the cars are actually a lot more evenly matched than I would have expected I'm sure it helps that we turn into the power a little bit on the skyline but as you can see from the 60 foot and from the tire squeal noises the solstice definitely has a tire advantage and we know it has a power advantage and I don't want this to be a clean sweep so we're gonna hook that up with set of nto ones for the rear this is a 235 40. even though the solstice has a 245 R Triple Eight nt01 is a similar if not maybe a little bit more aggressive compound slightly less wide but will be a way better match than what the tire is on it now and should give my dad a Fighting Chance even though he has a power deficit now that we got nt1s on it let's see what 30 . there it is with the nto ones on my dad's car we were able to shave almost two tenths off of the 60 foot improve the 0-60 time to almost be the same as my mom's car and now I think we've got a pretty even match up my mom's got more power for the top end but my dad's got a little bit more dig off the line now I think it's just up to the drivers of the radio Bates chased off a bobcat twice really so just to let you know how was it I wasn't trying to if you see a bobcat just want to let you know I'm not even joking about it I'm like I'm dead serious can I stop and pick him up the last thing you need to tell my mom right now on a practice lap but just a heads up on it all right all right so in addition to all that we've talked about with racing we want to keep an eye out for Bobcats so what I want you to focus on you're gonna start in second gear try to go until you hit Redline okay but then just make sure that you're not pedaling it and you're floored because that's when your car will be fastest and then whenever you don't feel comfortable anymore that's when I left all right let's see what you can do nice for it all right I thought they go down a little bit work on roasted the clutch clutch I'm going to teach you how to start a little bit better yeah so when you're leaving the line you don't need to slip the clutch you can almost just like kind of dump it you're going to need a floor it more I was floored you floored like halfway through you didn't do bad but like look my dad's not gonna go easy on you you got the car you just got to put the tunnel in the middle we'll try and exercise next time I'm gonna I'm gonna be like there's a truck coming behind you quick you gotta go you don't have to do great great great yup for it there's a car you're good shift way better my bag's underneath my clutch oh okay oh you got an Apple down there is that half eat an apple yes I put it there because there was no garbage yeah we'll make sure to get it cleared out that was great I want you to try to shift a little faster right now just move your yeah that's better right now so now we just do the same thing again but you do that and then you'll be great great timing redo it what you slip the clutch a lot again no I didn't I let my foot right off of it no you no you were you were you also you slept the clutch and then you burn the tires a little bit great great great Lauren great great job shift great job keep it floor Keep It Forward keep going keep going keep going that white line perfect white line right before 13 I'm gonna put the finish line that was a great run how'd it feel scary that was good thank you is it the first time you probably went that fast in this car ever I think I might have had it up to 80. yeah maybe that's great I think what the thing my dad's going to try to overdrive the car you're just nice and smooth and I think I got a real chance as long as the pedal pedal's touching the floor that's all you got to do with this thing to go fast now I need a recording of you on my floor floored flooring well that was good a shot I will do my best I'll tell you when the finish line is we don't have markers up right now but it's gonna be a little bit before the 13. we are racing together versus at once yep and we'll uh you're probably not gonna need to go into fifth gear okay relax when our hands come down all right I'm Gonna Get You fourth we're gonna need to go to Fourth we're gonna need it oh yeah it's good off the line though yeah third gear ain't what it used to be huh oh it's good I just never went into fortnite yeah I never practiced no this thing's fast huh yeah no I never use fourth I mean I couldn't do it on practice that way obviously so right now just go three to four just make sure you know where it is all right wow that was great good job good job all right fourth keep going keep going keep going the Finish Line's gonna be right here that was still good though you stayed in it yeah so you're like your body knew exactly to stay in it until it gained traction that was so you'll slow down and then you'll use the left side cars were fast enough to burn tires like that wow yeah your one two shift is gangster all right practice a little bit I think you'll be good that was great was it that was really good I don't know it's good what's not good yeah but you left some art do you see him leaving skid marks I think that was in second gear that like strip right in front of the white patch that's you wow yeah I don't know what I'm doing but are you ready for another practice Yeah foreign man your shifts are so good I'll put some markers that was good I think the only critique I have second gear you're just letting it ring out a little too much and that's why you're it's not wanting to shift so if you shift second a little sooner you'll be good I'm feeling good how are you feeling now everything is good here I feel I can only do what I can do this is my practice today and uh it's gonna be fun and uh that's about it so make that happen all right we got race number one I honestly have no idea who's gonna win I think my dad's a little bit more scared of the speed than my mom is which is kind of a surprise but I think there's some nerves in all of us so we'll see how it goes good my mom was oh no she let out all right oh she got spooked I know she got scared from the tire spinning oh if she stayed in it she would have been good we'll talk to her and see what she thinks that was such a good launch and what happened you got a little scared from the tire spin so the way that was yours so I know it was a little comfortable I mean even I just I just felt it was going this way so the worst the worst thing you can do in that scenario is to lift all the way you can kind of like feather it so if you want to do that next time all you got to do is kind of feather it a little more in second gear and then when you're in third gear it won't do that okay well you've done this enough times where you know exactly what you need to do I know I just when it did that it freaked me out I know well we're really proud of you you had them off the line that was great I know I settled back down too I was like if it got swirly just keep going yep you'll be fine I believe in you okay you know how to drive think about all those Connecticut snowstorms you're moving through this is nothing yeah the 360's in the driveway yep it wasn't a false start it was a perfect start she actually had you but she spun out and spooked herself a little bit how'd your car feel like I felt I got good shifts that time everything I mean it might have been a little grind but it was good I mean it sounded great from the outside it sounds good hopefully my mom will have the courage to stay in it and I think we have quite the close race okay all right yep I didn't know what happened to her you know and I saw that I started pulling a little bit ahead and then all of a sudden she was gone I said I can't be that much ahead of her you know but she had a false start all right well we'll line them back up all right let's go along come on come on thank you I think my mom just got him what a comeback Yoshi's still in it way past the finish line oh she's gonna be so excited oh I'm I'm like 99 sure I'm gonna call Johan and find out oh that's got to be such a good feeling I want to see that in car I really hope she's like look Johan's calling me right now Johan who got the win mom got the win let's go all right we got a tiebreaker out of us that's awesome thanks John oh what's up I know what a great job yeah he does he does this all the team the first one I really messed up what happened it got squirrely on me and it scared me yeah I don't want to spin or Flip or anything right so that's that's two there's one more to go right you got him oh great job you got the win you knew that though I saw you stop and talk to Johan because it got squirrely again with me yeah but you stayed in it so you had to do how to feel to get beat by a girl no different no I mean your driving was great too like it seemed like a really solid run I didn't hear you grind any gears did you yeah I mean I always liked my car I just I don't believe you do this all the time can you imagine that you just went probably 120 miles an hour thank you don't tell me that I wasn't yeah we don't want to know yeah well that's legal this is the first time yeah I know so but it's still here you're going 120 miles an hour you still want to back down I just don't like the beginning when I get squirrely the good news is the more you guys go the hotter the tires get and the more traction you'll have so we got a tie breaker the best two out of three you won one you won one and this is going to be who gets the cash all right thanks for the talk about pressure yeah I know all right we got the final race winner takes all who's going to take it I have no clue but I'm really looking forward to seeing who it's going to be do my best guys all right foreign wow my dad missed third my mom let out because she was spinning she's gonna be so happy I know it was great she was bouncing off limiter I'm not like I'm not gonna lie I feel bad for my dad because in my head he was going to take the win my mom was gonna not floor it but she she figured it out and she floored it car got loose that was her biggest fear and we saw her like in real time face that let out and keep in it that was amazing I'm really proud of her I did ever think your dad has such good launches that he was gonna take it but that was awesome didn't I get him yeah did I get them well I don't know why I got squirrely in the beginning I think he was nervous of that but I didn't cross over the line something smells funky that was so good you got squirrely yeah but you stayed in it you did exactly what we said and you overcame your fear getting sideways and you stayed in it and that was awesome that was nice Chris thank you I couldn't even look at you I didn't want to know where you were nah I missed the shift and I really got behind oh sorry no problem you stayed in it you were full sideways I know you scared the hell out of me and you're yelling in one ear Colette's going in the other your thing just stay in it stay in it stay in it soon I'm like that's what you got to do I almost didn't shift it I hunt let it hang in I heard I let it hang in third too long I think that would have been a really close race but my dad missed both gears so oh I want I didn't know what happened to him so you won are you happy yeah I'm just yeah I bet you know me and I was looking at the line making sure I didn't go over the line I had the good shift it would have been real close the case is broken oh I know why this is the wrong code good all right it was a close race I'm not gonna lie mom I uh I don't wanna say I have my money on my dad because I I thought that he was gonna win but because I chicken out look I I kind of did he definitely had a huge disadvantage before prior to the race I gave him better tires and turned his boost up to try to make it give him a little bit more of a Fighting Chance but congratulations oh thank you you took the win thank you you know all in the shifting I knew it so so I feel bad don't feel bad that's great but I don't I don't feel I bet you were ruined for yourself were you I wanted to do it because you asked me to do it and you know how chicken I am so I said all this stuff you'll do for me if I ask I had to do what you asked but you know I was you did great to death thank you I'm proud of you and uh I mean yeah you did your first drifting like pretty much halfway down the runway she was I stayed in it I thought she was going into you yeah I was straight though wasn't it you were straight you just weren't in gear I know so I'll line you guys back up I know that you probably didn't like that run because you missed your gears you want to do another one just for fun you still get to keep the money sure unless you want to double or nothing no no no no no no no no no no no I'm not stupid we'll do another one for fun and okay or Circle back okay okay all right all right we got a Bonus race just for fun I know my dad's probably not satisfied with that last run grinding the gear so we'll see if he can get the win if he can make all the shifts all right oh it looks like she might get him on the back half yeah man there's no replacement for displacement but that was a close race my dad got his his launch and it sounded like he went through the gears good so hopefully both of them go home with a smile on their face I gotta say like I expected way more bickering but I feel like there's just like so much tension and wind in the air today yeah I apologize if the audio is not the greatest or if it looks weird that I've been like doing this all up on my parents face but I'm trying to give you guys good audio quality this was like such this was like one of those shower ideas where it's like oh what if I made my parents race oh wait we have this place where we could do it and they both have cars that are fast maybe they'd be down my dad was pretty down but he thought I was joking that my mom definitely took some convincing she is so petrified as a passenger you guys have seen the reaction videos mm-hmm get me out let me out of the car are you are you a dog you knows and as a driver this is probably the fastest she's ever gone in her life this is probably the only time she's ever left a light like this and to see the smile on her face definitely something special and I hope you guys enjoyed kind of watching this all go down that was for fun I got nervous I caught him out of the corner of my eye and like oh all right I was just going to say that was close that maybe you had me by a quarter of a car then I caught you out of the corner of my eye and I I caught that and I forgot to shift then once I shift then I started to move yeah but look like at the line you were like a quarter of a car ahead but which was enough that was good for a rematch yeah definitely that was good but you still got the win yay good work thank you yep any uh it did it when it counted what any final closing thoughts next year what about you that was fun do I need to do it again I don't think so all right well thank you guys for coming out I definitely did not think this was gonna happen and thought this would be like one of those ideas that just dies off as oh imagine we did this so yeah no it's all good it was kind of cool it was kind of cool so thank you guys hope you guys enjoyed the video make sure to like comment subscribe and uh if you see one of these two at the light better watch out excited and he does he does this side of me\n"
