There were a few people who doubted the C6 platform in professional drifting but Matt Field silenced them with consistent results at the top over the last few years. During pre-season testing at Willow Springs, I caught up with him to talk over his Vette.

Seeing what happened to this car then watching this was a hard watch! Tough break.

Matt built his car with is own two hands, unlike half the drivers that podium regularly. He developed parts, brought people out of retirement to make the body. If you don’t remember that was a totaled flood car, the frame rails and body were full of sand and mud.

really stoked to see the car back together. I think that accident was heartbreaking for everyone to watch. Freddy was going for gold and just over sent it... Freddy was humble and you could tell he was hurt emotionally as much for matt probably as matt was, but either way it was too much to fix. Just a crappy scenario. On to Atlanta!

This was before the accident. Probably going to have to do a total rebuild again, the front frame rails were bent

Whoever says that Corvettes are difficult to work on have never worked on a Corvette. There are a few difficult things but all the generations are relatively easy to work on.

I don't like the idea of having to drop the rear subframe to get the trans for anything. Front configuration seems like the way to go lol

Good video but you're wrong that there were a few people who doubted the C6 platform unless you don't know about cars. Even the hardcore JDM guys like myself know how good of a starting platform the C6 is like Matt mentioned. You could tell you weren't familiar with the platform when you sounded surprised that you can simply bolt a coilover kit straight on to the C6 and make it handle better than most cars but those Corvette guys have been doing it for over 20 years since the C5. One of my buddies with a C6 only simply did coilovers with no other suspension mode and he walked a fully tuned FD, look up Driver Battles C6 vs FD.

12:03 I wonder if he would see any benefits on track if he switched to an aluminum Z06 frame. Might give him more flexibility for distributing weight at the expense of durability and repairability.

@josephmatuszak3855 2 жыл бұрын

The alum frame is really expensive, and it's fragile. It also has different rear suspension iirc.

@motoweenies4431 2 жыл бұрын

From my understanding, not worth the headache of tying the cage into the frame, and likely not as safe

@2jsalomon 2 жыл бұрын

nah, check out taylor ray's youtube channel. he had an aluminum zo6 chassis he was building for FD/clutchkickers. but ended up selling that and switching to a base c6 bc of all the difficulties of aluminum

Don't you get excited when seeing a race car go a little sideways? Drifting is that but to the next level and in every corner.

@dante_lsx 2 жыл бұрын

For me it’s the skills to keep an out of control car in control and at the same time putting it centimeters away from the wall or from the lead driver, then you get the style and freedom to build whatever chassis with whatever power plant you want, drifting has a lot more freedom and personality than a lot of other motorsports and to me I think that’s why so many gravitate towards it
