Tearing the C6 Corvette up at the LZ Invitational. trying to take it all the way

[@rayzor285]

There's guys that build cars, and there's guys that can drive cars. Rarely do we see someone who excels in both. That Corvette really came out nice man.

[@flowmoneyant]

right ! Great fuckin drivin taylor. Really look into FD bro !

[@racistrobinhood]

I think I get why you don't but I'd love to see what you could do with Von and his factory backing your talents

[@EJames22]

Well said

[@FnaAuto]

Almost every FD driver builds their car lmao

[@NNYstreetcarmafia]

Don't forget guys like Kevin Smith from ksr

[@MasterResolve]

The Miata would have crushed this comp. Awesome that Taylor isn't just concerned with winning but actually focuses on seat time in a pro level car that has the potential to put him in Pro 1.

[@dark4yoyo]

He can't actually run the Miata in this comp due to the spec tire they run that doesn't fit on the Miata

[@shanemayers777]

@@dark4yoyo it was a 265 or smaller 200+ treadware so he could have run the Miata. But the Miata needs a bunch of work as the diff mount is all messed up.

[@trevormckeehen2010]

He can drive the shit out of the Miata already. He needs the seat time in the new car.

[@TheMichal1260]

It still would be nice to see miata in comp again ;)

[@komischertyp4]

@@TheMichal1260 Adam was driving his S13 even though he has his E36 comp car, so I’m sure Taylor will drive the miata every once in a while, once it’s fixed.

[@allenlord3679]

Props to Collette she drove her butt off and had a great showing in her newly done car. She has driven with Adam more than anyone and it's paying off.

[@allenlord3679]

The internet and the whole drifting community needs to see Taylor and Luke Fink to do some more driving together. Both madmen behind the wheel and would be the most epic team if they could.

[@lukelambert4595]

Your sportsmanship was outstanding as usual. You are a great builder, driver AND person, Taylor. Hats off, brother. I wish you all the best in the future.

[@theangrymarmot8336]

That whole event was just killer. Best battles I have seen in a event in a long, long time. The vette looked and sounded amazing.

[@motoben6520]

This isn't my cup of tea, but I have enjoyed watching this kid build this car. I'm really impressed with how he drives it as well! Great job all around, Taylor Ray!

[@auburnbarter]

Honestly never thought my favorite part of the car would be the carbon fiber dash but damn it looks good

[@aerichardson08]

I really don’t care that much about drifting, I just like Taylor. It’s refreshing to watch someone so talented be so humble.

[@i-_-am-_-g1467]

I have to say, Adam really really knocked it out of the park with this Invitational pulling out all the stops. Great seeing everyone together and the format was the best of any type of comp/event having jam sessions and not being entirely driven on just doing your comp runs!

[@Taylordrifts]

Yeah last years was great but this one was next level! The screens were sick!

[@Danger-Dave]

@@Taylordrifts My thoughts as well... from the watching perspective the PPV production over all was really good, a few hickup's but that's to be expected. Dave Egan killed it as the announcer! What is going to take the place of KK next year? That's what I wanna know. BTW great job Taylor, once you really get settled into that chassis and are able to run you're tires it's only to be going up each time you compete. The Quick change gear set has got to be a huge + fun to see the progression!

[@i-_-am-_-g1467]

@@Taylordrifts Both you and Collete smashed the field! Your rear grip kit looked like it made night and day difference compared to last time on the skinny tyres... Can't wait for KKs now!

[@chandlerlee1436]

@Taylor Ray in my opinion you won. I don’t understand, was it by points or by those 2 battles? If by those two battles I believe you won and idk who the judges are? Anyone can do a burnout but it takes more skill to use the whole track like you did and do it with speed like you did and not spin out? I’m just confused

[@mk4gli389]

Absolutely crushed it Taylor. Only gonna get better with more time in the chassis congrats!

[@SamWilliams78]

Anyone else just watch the whole thing smiling? This car is so sick and you are just going to keep getting better my man. Wow.

[@jeremiah4966]

I'm stoked seeing the vette handle everything your throwing at it all the hard work payed off

[@noahanderson1368]

The smoke looks so sick coming out of the rear hatch!!

[@captainawesome1597]

Proud of you taylor, building a car and shooting to the top. Keep on kicking ass!!!

[@beratsbuilds]

13:55 This whole TJ Hunt & T-Ray interaction is so wholesome. Two great guys giving each other credit where credit is due

[@Faydurr]

31:34 uhhhhh would’ve loved to see that battle with two of you having each fresh tires, can tell not getting as much forward bite or would’ve possibly pushed and been able to dive in a little more. Regardless so pumped to see you killing it in that thing! 👊

[@jasonsell8523]

The judging seems fair. I think we learned a lesson about tire conservation here but when you have a new build with less familiar tires, that's how you learn. Great work bud.

[@obrockie]

Luke fink is the king. Almost stock car and killing it.

[@JasonRidesmoto]

I'll be 100% honest... before this build I didn't watch much of the actual driving drift content... since this build I feel sooo invested that I'm at the edge of my seat... amazing driving, amazing build... was frustrated you didn't have another set of tires because you damn well would have beat LZ and would have finished on top if you did. 🙌

[@7killakam]

First time seeing this car compete. Sounds an runs awesome. Great build man.

[@rogerdavis359]

def my favorite youtube driver. all the way up to james deane. Taylor Ray rips!

[@frankgeimer5952]

Great Try Taylor! You sure were something to watch with your new Corvette! Thanks for taking me along with the build , the testing and the competing! I have truly enjoyed watching you run.

[@racer193wr]

Still the only drift guy I enjoy watching tear it up. New car new new suspension and new new new tire size that car just works all things considered..

[@magicool5981]

Great to hear the improvements to suspension have payed off! Love watching you with this car evolving. Awesome job! Looks great too, btw!

[@neilorange4112]

That car makes this channel so much better because know we can see Taylor Ray abilities really shine I've watched every video since this car has gotten finished when before was hit or miss

[@scottnewington1907]

Finally u got to drive against Luke Fink fucking awesome 👌

[@mattmccrary8324]

This car is perfect !!! You really built a nice car!! Much respect!!!!

[@cmdub420]

Killer job on the car and the driving T. Ray! That guy Luke Fink looks like an absolute blast to race with!

[@naiahhaian]

Love how hard you're driving this vette!

[@justinvoelker9781]

Fun battles w friends, no bs calls, great sportsmanship, amazing driving, what more can you ask for. This was great

[@john-vy1ml]

The way ur car blows tire smoke out of the rear window is awesome . Great job on the build and driving.

[@billbry]

Great entertainment taylor! A spec tire is only an equalizer when the weight is equal so you did a hell of a job with that little tire! I would love to see the spec tire be sized by weight of chassis to truly show who the best driver car combination is.

[@billbry]

In other forms of racing the crate engine is the minimum weight car and the built motor cars must add 50 to 100 lbs of ballast. They end up neck and neck..

[@TheBarrettCompound]

Good effort man! That's racing, you are a FORCE out there with pro level drivers.

[@metrickarma]

You need some more in video ads if it means more tires. Wish Nitto was a bigger sponsor of the program!!! You're killing it out there, so glad the vette build came out like it did!

[@claudedottin1312]

Thing is running with the homies you gain experience and are able to learn a lot about your car. Also have fun. These vids motivated me 👍🏽.

[@StrykerWolf92]

Your Vette looks so sick. Glad you went with the black theme.

[@buildingsalvage]

Killed it man. Y’all worked hard for this and proving it everytime you go out

[@nicolasscheffers-roy5323]

Dude it’s so nice to see you and Adam driving together again

[@PennerFab]

Watching you and Dan tandem was neat! Great work on the car and driving Taylor 🤟 Also, TJ has come a long way as a driver! He did really well

[@bikes-n-boost4089]

Getting comfortable quickly and im glad you are happy with the car you deserve it

[@rhadiem]

Sick wrap bud. C6's look so good wrapped.

[@boperry3551]

I hope to see you again at ls fest this year. Made my weekend when you showed up last yeara

[@Tagiau]

Adams cream s13 is one of the most aggressive sounding 4 cylinders ever. He took gods motor and just made it angry.

[@johnsimons6748]

Great job! Top 4 against Luke and Adam on almost no tire, and making it that close, says a lot about the car, and the driver of course. And the car was flawless mechanicaly so all in all a win! Awesome drifting and a sick event, I had a blast watching all of the different footage from all the channels.

[@photodave219]

Man, that vette goes exactly where you wanted it, it was art. So congrats on top 4 and getting it dialed in against some of the best. And wow, TJ hunt really impressed me. Much better than I was expecting. Dude definitely worked his ass off.

[@patchworkrecordingstudios]

Great driving, great car building, great vid. Thanks for this one, awesome.

[@jakerittner1694]

Cant believe how well it handles and sounds so mean.. my brother inlaw used to drift with luke Fink back here in Adelaide Australia 🇦🇺

[@DefconMaster]

For want of fresh tires, the SR20 was lost. The driving was top tier from everyone involved though, and it looked everyone had lots of fun as well! You can definitely tell that Taylor has gotten a lot more comfortable in the Vette. Another event or two and he'll be unstoppable!

[@stimothy9396]

Too come in 4th against all those talented driver in a new car, on a newer new setup speaks volumes! Great racing 🏁

[@mam3128]

Taylor, I went to the invitational to hopefully see you. The fact that we got to see you compete against Adam in the cream s13 and your new build was just icing on the cake. Nice work!

[@russellflannery6913]

Very impressive brother. On ward and up wards.

[@Lazl0ow]

My guy, if you only had one more set of those tyres, you had it in the bag. The whole C6 build makes me root for you the most in drifting right now, so cool and inspiring to see how you built the car. There's no other driver that I'm more hyped for than you going on in drifting. I'm rooting for you Taylor, greetings from The Netherlands! Ps I want to see more of the AE86, that thing is sick!

Great driving Taylor. Happy for you and that weapon of a car!

[@abnormallynormal8823]

Damn, you and the Bette could 100% go pro 1. That was some amazing driving

[@SDSBBQs]

Dude... I know all that it probably took to edit this and I want to say thanks. Multiple camera angles only complicate the effort involved and for you to crank this out as soon as you did, KUDOS to you Sir. Thanks again.

[@steveonator67]

Would love to see you and Adam rip more, you are both insane drivers and seeing his e36 vs your vette would be incredible.

Just watching you drive puts me on the edge of my seat. Don’t even have to go drifting after watching you to see what it feels like lol I feel like I’m in the car with you.

[@trevormckeehen2010]

That top 8 lead was gangster! Went a little hard on the lead against Adam. Then Luke has a fantastic follow. Great driving dude. And great job building a badass car.

[@Soulbain85]

This man can drive! Man...... the in car camera facing you, are you drifting or driving to the grocery store? So little steering input and all smooth as butter. A lot of in car camera footage of people drifting looks like the kids at the local arcade playing a racing game, wrestling that steering wheel. Love the content, awesome to see you getting more and more comfortable with the Vet!

So fun to watch all you guys grow together! Corvette looks awesome Taylor! You'll keep dialing it in!

Taylor was killing it! But damn Adam and that cream s13 can get down! I think it would have been a OMT for sure if Taylor didn't pop the barriers on that last run.

I thought FOR SURE you had that top 3! But highly highly impressed with your driving and car control with the new build on that tiny tire 👌👌 reeeally hope to see you in that thing in upcoming events next year. Keep killin it my guy! 👊
