In this Larry Chen video, we delve into the fascinating world of a unique drift car - a Plymouth Satellite that defies convention. This behemoth, measuring a whopping 17 and 1/2 feet, dominates the narrow mountain roads of drift Appalachia with its sheer size. The owner's vision to transform this vintage car into a drift machine involved a clever mix of components, such as E36 BMW front suspension and a straight axle rear, creating a one-of-a-kind driving experience.
What sets this Plymouth Satellite apart is not just its imposing presence but also its performance on the drift circuit. The "poor man's LS3" engine under the hood delivers ample power, complemented by upgraded brakes sourced from a BMW and an Explorer 8.8 rear end. Despite its rough exterior, the car's interior retains many original components, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and modern functionality.
The owner's drifting prowess shines through as he effortlessly maneuvers this unconventional drift car, leaving tire smoke in his wake. With a background that includes owning a JZX90, he brings a wealth of experience to the table, seamlessly transitioning between right-hand and left-hand drive vehicles. The meticulous planning and resourcefulness evident in this build serve as a testament to the owner's passion for creating something truly unique in the world of drifting.
