Freightliner and Mustang drift battle. Who wins?

Drifting in a high speed sports car has it’s set of dangers and skill involved.  Drifting in a big rig takes it to a whole new level.

Stunt man extraordinaire, Mike Ryan, hops into the seat of a Freightliner Cascadia and takes on a Mustang head to head in a drift battle around the track.

For over 30 years Mike Ryan has been the go-to guy semi truck stunt driver in TV, movies, and live shows.

He also occasionally does work for law firms to help reconstruct accident scenes.

Ryan executes precision turns while shredding enough tire to put Vinny D and the cast of the Fast and Furious to shame.

It’s a close battle as the Mustang driver ain’t too shabby himself, but we have to give it to the Freightliner — the size and weight alone of the vehicle make it that much more impressive.

So who do you think performed better on the track — The Freightliner or the Mustang?  Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

If you enjoyed this, don’t be greedy — share it and it may make someone’s day. I know it did mine.
