Video summary
Press to jump
- 0:24The Chi-Town Alley tour takes in custom Porsches, a CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet and a Lamborghini Sterrato.
- 2:43A Honda builder explains his Civic and Del Sol modifications while Max tries the Del Sol's seat.
- 5:19The host reaches Drifter's display and its hero Toyota AE86, Lola 1.
- 6:48Sung Kang explains how the automotive community supported his independent film project.
- 9:37Kang credits Dai Yoshihara with performing the film's real drifting as his stunt double.
- 11:02Kang introduces Tree, a Willow Springs janitor who dreams of becoming a drifter.
Sung Kang describes Drifter with a comparison that needs very little translation: "It's Rocky. Rocky 1: take the boxing out and you put drifting."
That conversation gives LegitStreetCars 2's September auto-show vlog something to revisit beyond the machinery. Beside the film's Toyota AE86, nicknamed Lola 1, Kang explains that automotive-community support helped make an independent project traditional Hollywood did not understand. His character, Tree, is a Willow Springs Raceway janitor who wants to drift. Kang also makes sure professional driver Dai Yoshihara gets credit for the real drifting performed as his stunt double.
There is plenty of car-spotting around the interview: a red Lexus LFA, wide-bodied Porsches and a Honda Del Sol whose builder talks through the modifications while Max tries the driver's seat. The upload is nearing 300,000 views and has the strongest daily momentum among the channel's highlighted archive videos, followed by the twin-turbo Camaro handover we covered here.
No new uploads arrived this week. The existing catalog added about 18,000 views, while subscribers stayed level. Daily viewing is running below its usual level, making this a quieter stretch for a channel whose offbeat outings include tool-shopping surprises and car-meet pizza parties.
Among nearby motoring channels, Cars & Money had a particularly active week, and Fixbook's daily viewing is above its usual level. LegitStreetCars 2's catch-up viewing has a more personal attraction: Kang explaining the people and driving behind his film.
