A couple of weeks back, Rockstar Energy Drink dropped this dope clip of Tanner Foust taking his V8 Scion tC up LA’s legendary Mulholland Drive. As you can imagine, setting up this video was a big production, and Matt Farah and the guys from the Smoking Tire were on hand get some footage about how the shoot went down. Tanner’s people wanted TST to sit on this footage for a couple of weeks before they released it, but now the embargo is up, so we can all check it out. Enjoy.

If you know the specs of these beefy pieces of American muscle, you can probably guess which one comes out on top…

But before Russ handed it over to Matt, he wanted to demonstrate just how quick by overtaking a a Porsche 996 Cup Car. And everything went exactly as planned. Yup, it was a totally textbook shoot…
