Building The Dream - Finally Drifting The Porsche 718 Cayman. IT WORKS!

[@stinkmunky1]

bro that 3 wheelin shot in the beginning was siiiick

[@justinwebster7761]

It looks like it constantly is 3 wheelin freakin sick build.

[@DemiDemiGlace]

The car looks so happy while doing that. Like it's waving to me haha

Happy Birthday, bud!

I love this style of content. Sitting and explaining some stuff then showing the videos. Love it.

100% ma man

[@Charlie-Charlot]

I agree, feels way more natural and interesting than vlogs

[@Cumulonmbus]

Its like skate documentary vibes, I dig it too

[@JordieMotive]

Building a mid engined modern Porsche for drifting is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I'm 90's JDM all over, having owned Supra's, Skylines and Silvias but something about this and even Taylor Ray's F80 M3 drift car, is what I really love to see lately!

[@daltonharmon3372]

As a huge drifting fan, and someone who’s works for Porsche, I’ve been praying to see someone mess around with a 718. That fact that it’s Chelsea Denofa gives me so much hope for the development of this car in this driving discipline. CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE VIDS. And Happy Birthday dude! 🤘🏻

[@trevorgarrett7602]

The car was developed and is a beautiful piece of engineering for driving. Chopping out that beautiful suspension and replacing it with shit to drift is the exact opposite.

[@flexxx222]

@@trevorgarrett7602 It's great that you have no say about what he is doing with his car. It might suprise you that road racing and drift suspension setups usually don't differ much. In both you stive for grip. Only the grip is applied different. So with that conclusion road racers chop out that "beautiful suspension" and replace it with shit to grip, which is, like you said the exact opposite of "a beautiful piece of engineering for driving".

[@florian_montuzet]

A Cayman three wheeling full opposite lock. Modern cars are frightening of efficiency. What a time to be alive. Your R&D is amazing.

[@steveobarnes]

What other race car driver gets their first chip, retires from the top racing class/circuit, then immediately begins expanding the motorsport by introducing a whole new chassis layout? Drifting is by far the most captivating motorsport (even without a glitzy Netflix docudrama driving from behind the scenes) and Chelsea is the most exciting, risk taking driver in in it. It feels like 1960s Le Mans racing except Chelsea just quit Ferrari to go mid engine because no one would listen. Chelsea is giving us front rowe seats on the bleeding edge of drifting full lock foot to the floor 3 wheelin a Weissach. Wild.

[@chelseadenofa]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@therealboofighter]

I remember the AW11 way back. That was cool.

[@Wontawn0101]

Idk bout any of yall but nothings more exciting than watching Chelsea drift... like he can drift all kinds of cars and the guy absolutely shreds 🤠🤘🤘🤘

[@josiahhein6036]

This thing is BADASS! Love me some Porsche builds!

[@jeffb7788]

this instantly became my favorite build on KZbin, keep the vids coming!

[@JOtjFyeahlz]

Man I didn’t expect the 718 from you. All I can say now is I’m officially on the hunt for one. I feel like they are really slept on

[@racingjimmer]

I've been looking already myself!

[@Keiferdrives]

Don't wait because they're all going electric in the next year or two. 981 is the best generation imo.

[@jmblur]

They're amazing grip cars as well. My 718 GTS2.5 rips at autocross in stock class, right out of the box except for wheels and tires. The 2.5 turbo flat 4 doesn't get enough love, it's responsive as hell for a turbo and has torque for days.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

They're definitely not slept on, the Caymans are notorious for being one of thee best racing platforms available, this is just the first I've seen drifting.

[@JOtjFyeahlz]

@@johnnygeorgopoulos4072 I meant slept on as In j never see any on the streets. But yeah I am definitely looking to see what I can find

[@nickisslamin]

Built one on forza and been RIPPIN it love this build there needs to be more out of the ordinary build like this

[@AdamTrackIT]

It’s been my favorite Forza drift car for a few years ! It can chase anybody in tandem so easy

[@snickers882]

That Porsche looks so insane drifting and it sounds so cool also. I love the low key look without a wing and no big aero. It just looks so smooth and just looks so cool drifting. Honestly after watching it. it maybe one of my top 3 favorite body styles to watch drift.

[@SoldadoFerreiraa]

The best drift channel on KZbin, why doesn't it have a few million subscribers? Thank you for the wonderful content! hugs.

[@C0BB.003]

LetsGo! I can’t even put into words how excited I am for this! The mr2 was just a glimpse at what was capable with a mid engine layout, I always hoped you would re visit the idea but I never imagined it would be at this level. The innovation and vision is extremely refreshing

[@1mangostick]

Love how it lifts a front wheel... wicked lil beast. Definitely want to see more of this.

[@J21stayballin]

Michael essa will be falling in love with this porsche cayman 718

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea we have talked about cayman stuff for years

[@dylanlobbestael]

It’s giving Say Howdy Get Rowdy vibes. Looks awesome!

[@jc0326]

Bring it back! SHGR was the best series.

[@jonathanluse4641]

Loving this series. The production quality is awesome and the technical stuff feeds my engineering side.

[@garlenseong38]

Seeing the car 3 wheeling ... =EPIC!!!

[@supermotosunset]

i love that you guys record the outside view. i cant stand when someone has a sick ass car and the entire time they record its the inside.

[@limitetpancake]

Im a big fan of Porsches and Drifting, I love what youre doing here, and more people need to see this. I saw you other video just days ago, and loved it. cant wait to see what this car can do p.s. i want this car as an ac mod, that would be so awesome

[@RazzJones]

It’s soo good to see you this excited for something, this is what drifting is all about!!

[@von...]

happy birthday my dude! always love seeing you go in this lane of content - where you develop a new platform & make it perform better than any of the old heads on the forums could have ever even imagined was possible.

[@maxfuerst1980]

Man that first in car clip blew me away at how easy you made this look. Dash looks so great, still has porsche feel, but still a race car. This thing is amazing!

[@adamreynolds1851]

Bro your killing it for a non youtube youtuber , this is a way out thing, people say they can't be controlled on the edge, looked dialed ,want to see it with some know drift chassis to see how it dose

[@COYOTE_N8]

This thing looks badass drifting. Your driving is insane!

[@2jYeti]

This is one of my favorite drift builds. It looks so smooth. A porsche going sideways is unreal.

[@Dclawspker]

got me wanting to pick one of these up now!!!

[@esmmotorsportsinc.5467]

So Rad! Who knew Porsche would look so good drifting!

[@throttletribevn]

I own a 718 boxster and id never imagine seeing a flat 4 718 being drifted around like this. Unreal! Thx.

[@dreyrehagen4172]

The layout of the video was killer, driving was top tier as usual.

[@gafrers]

Awesome. Love the front Enkei

So stoked for you!

Keep on rockin it Chelsea,this is so awesome to watch and see the talent you have

[@Mr_jz_12]

Glad my comment got the aw11 added in this video :D Those three wheeling shots are epic too. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this!

[@mr_desouza_]

Chelsea about to turn the drift seen upside down with this one... Luv it

[@Juanpi2709]

I love how the Cayman sounds. It feels like an LS running on 7 cylinders but in a good way if that makes any sense lol

[@yota8325]

The 6 definitely sounds better but the 4 pot does have alot of tuning potential

[@derektennessen3465]

Chelsea, keep the videos coming, I am fully invested in following the progress of this build!!!

[@jasonheichert2491]

Keep killing it Chelsea

Ive never been a huge porshe fan but god dang this thing is sick. It looks so natural shredding like that.

[@VICtolic817]

It sounds soooo good. Imagine an RWB kit with it too. It would be gorgeous.

This video is SO SICK!! I haven't been this hyped in a long time, crazy edit with the music and engine sounds, just love it! This build is something else..

[@emilisyech8926]

This drift build gonna change the world and how people see drifting

[@ripF5C]

The shots in this were incredible!

[@DriftaholiC]

Loving this series. I had a 987.1 cayman s briefly, made some rack spacers for it and took it drifting. I could see the potential as well. The more I thought about blowing a pricey engine the stronger the pull was to sell her. Glad to see this happening! This is certainly the best choice of caymans.

[@chelseadenofa]

Yea the 718 engines are actually cheaper and make more power. +- game for sure

[@toddthezondalover645]

Huge inspiration dude. I have two kids and never thought I would be able to get into cars, but getting back to school soon to be an RN. The energy is definitely motivational!

[@adamthomas4638]

Chelsea always looks so relaxed when absolutely flying an getting sideways that's why he's the champ

[@koekcoek]

what a build its looks clean

[@lucasdamask]

Buddy, Jordan made that thing boogie! Props to him, the first E-town shoot I was like, "That thing would be a monster with 100hp more". Said and done, congrats dude, awesome ride. P.S. Try and do a corner balance on that thing, mid engine chassis responds nicely when it's done.

[@josteincarlsen2905]

This is why I love drifting!! Weird cars going sideways!!

[@Vgk36]

Happy birthday Chelsea! Thanks for the KILLER video! Keep sharing the process please!!

[@indieladylove]

never seen a drifting Porsche, excited about the development. sick build great idea!
