Even the suspension looks totally stock and soft too!!
They must be out of their mind doing such manuveurs on a Camry...but hey, they survived, and I know there's no chance I would.

Comparing this video to the street racing vids here in the states, makes the street races, or at least the danger aspect of it, non-existant. CRAZY people!!!

Wow......and I thought those kids drag racing on public is crazy.
I don't mind they crash and kiiling themselves in the process, just don't hurt innocent bystanders.

THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!

That's just hilarious ... I mean, honestly!!! In the second video, people are hanging out of these cars as they do the "maneuvering" as it were. What's with the crowd gathered around? Are these roads patrolled? Are these a bunch of car-crazy (or just plain crazy) oil moguls or royalty or what? Where's the money come from to just totally destroy Camry's for fun?

I've gotta go see about that.

Anyone know where that occurs? Kuwait?

CL group buy?
