VE SS Drift Ute.

Hey guys, Thought I'd let you all know that we are running a VE SS Ute in the 2012 Drift season. If you like the idea of a tyre shredding screaming V8 sliding completely sideways pushing all the usual jap sliders to the pits, then follow the link to watch us prepare this Aussie icon to take on the enemy.

The driver Nick Coulson AKA (DriftKid) is only 18 years old & has been mixing it up with the pro guys for only a year & has already proven he can take it to the best Australia has to offer.

Please show your support for a young guy doing something different in a sport that needs more diversity. Drifting is a highly skilled sport that has been in the shadows for too long. Hopefully with this Holden Commodore we can bring a fresh new fan base to support a great sport.

Wow got some serious speed down that straight. We have one in Adelaide that competed in it's first comp (also first outing) just this weekend gone. Doesn't sound as free revving as yours. It sounded very doughy down low. But it was the first outing for it so I'm sure there are more tweaks to be done. What mods are done to yours?

Thanks mate, that was in the pissing rain & it seemed to have a great amount of grip. We got 5 dry laps & it was just amazing how it sat in the drift. 1 more practice day & then it's comp time. Engine mods are simple cam/valve springs & a great tune from Hi-Torque Performance. Plus a Few other things you normally do to hi revving LS. The suspension is a whole different story. Fulcrum Suspension have done an amazing job making it low & tight. Have a look on their Facebook page to follow the build from their performance arm, Fulcrum Performance.
The other VE you are talking about is Hayden's & is doing great. 4th in it's 1 st comp is great work. We will probably end up racing them when we do a few SA rounds later in the year. To keep up with the whole series check http://www.racelineevents.com/raceline/

Yeah that's the car I'm talking about. Superpro are a good bush, we sell them at work. Hayden did well in a car for a first time outing, had a great result. Will be good to see more Holden cars out in the drift scene. Keep up the good work.

When you get away from the drift video the girl on girl stuff much better to watch but have to admit the ute sounds mighty fine

Well we had our 1st Competition on the weekend at Queensland Raceway for the Repco Pro Drift Championship. The DriftKid Qualified 5th out of 24 entrants & made it all the way to the top 8 where he was knocked out finishing 7th. It was amazing to see this VE SS being thrown around like a rag roll.
After a little more developement & some more seat time for Nick, we think this beast will dominate the Australian Drift Scene.

Congratulations guys, well done. Good to see a big Aussie car taking it to all the imports.

Love the photo above, really highlights just how big the ute actually is to be throwing around like that. :goodjob:

Cheers
Matt

Here is a video of the knock out battle with the 350z. Sorry in advance about the sound. I will get it sorted by the next round.

video looks awesome, the shot looking backwards is a cracker, likes to pump out a little bit of smoke :)

Cheers

Awesome video mate. Keep them coming. You doing any of the ADGP rounds by any chance? I am going to tassie with a mate of mine that is competing and will hopefully go when he does VIC, WA and obviously be at the SA event too. Would be good to see you out there competing.
