Normally, a Lexus SC430 wouldn’t stand much of a chance against a Scion FR-S in a drift battle. However, the car you see here isn’t a regular version of the hardtop convertible but a gutted out and race-prepped iteration.

The two specially modified Japanese models met up at the 2012 Formula Drift event in New Jersey earlier this summer.

Sitting behind the wheel of the Scion FR-S Greddy model was 25 year-old Ken Gushi while 18-year-old rookie driver Patrick Mordaunt piloted the Lexus SC430.

Gushi managed to win the aforementioned race though Conrad Grunewald eliminated him in the next round.
