Video posted after the jump

Ahh, YouTube: the equivalent of morning cartoons for us grown-ups, only now we drink coffee with our Fruity Pebbles. The post title pretty much sums this up. As more people get their hands on SRT8 Dodge Challengers, more videos of wanton tire massacre will surface. Today's round comes via MyRide, which set about tagging the tarmac at Willow Springs with a silver example. When the Camaro finally comes out, we expect to see approximately one bajillion videos exactly like this, with at least half sporting the inevitable Dead Milkmen soundtrack. Thanks for the tip, David!

New York 2008: Hyundai Genesis Coupe doing power slides

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is the new rear-driver that enthusiasts have been waiting for, and the automaker showed the assembled mass of media just how fun its hot new ride is. Hyundai pulled out all the stops at its press conference, including hiring a couple of Hollywood's finest female stunt drivers to unveil what is perhaps its most exciting vehicle ever. Above is video of an impressive array of spin-outs, burnouts and power slides in V6 (Silver) and turbo-four (Red) flavors. This thing is completely hot. Check it out.

UPDATE: Video of actual press conference with execs talking after the jump.

Whether you call it drifting and do it with a Nissan Silvia or powersliding and perform it in a Corvette Z06, maintaining control of your car in a state of extreme oversteer is not an easy thing to do. Miguel sent us a link to this YouTube video in which Tiff Needell, ex-host of the BBC's Top Gear tellie program and current presenter on the show Fifth Gear, teaches a member of the British Special Air Service (SAS) how to powerslide a BMW M3. Having performed every mistake in the book while attempting to powerslide, we found Tiff's tips to be worded well and very helpful. Check it out, you might learn something.
