1971 Mach1 429 in racing simulator

I've got a coworker who's a car guy over in the UK. When he's not out drifting his 370z, he's playing some driving game on his computer. Its a pretty elaborate setup with a real steering wheel and gear shifter and a VR headset. From what people say, this game is one of the better ones in terms of accurately depicting how the cars handle and drive. The game has a 71 mach1 with some flavor of 429 in it and a 73 falcon with a 351. Pretty cool with the technology we have, somebody 5000 miles away can get a little taste of playing in your car. I think they even have the correct interior for the mach1.

Here's a couple links to some video clips of the game with an Estonian guy, living in the UK, trying to drift in a US muscle car.

Geeeeeze! That car was all over the road. Looks like handling was verstink! It's interesting that some of today's "enthusiasts" are so into the drifting thing. My old GT-350 could break the rear tires loose in a turn. We called it "throttle steering". Cobras did it at will. Eats up tires though.

Nice graphics. I like that they have the AM 8-track in the car!

Yeah. The whole point of drifting is to break the tires loose and swing the back car around. Its not trying to get anywhere quickly.
Kids these days.
They have a handbrake that tees into the rear brake line and yank on it every 3 seconds.
