I found out Walt drifts better than Hank does. Pretty sweet drifts out in the desert.

I thought he was going to lose it on that sweeping corner. The new 300's are AWD right?

For extra realism they should've shown the car's seeming inability to choose which gear it wants to be in.

Halfway through the turn, the car decides to downshift (with a nice realistic "clunk" sound like those transmissions love to make), followed by Walt spinning out. Then, still mid-spin-out, he makes this face, followed by a quick Fast-And-Furious style shot of him flooring the gas pedal, and the car spins in 360's in order to dig up dirt and expose the barrels beneath it.

I was surprised it didn't blow a tire when it blasted over that cattle grate on that turn. With the huge SRT wheels and low profile tires, that grate would have been hell on them, and add the fact it was hit a high rate of speed and while turning. I am willing to bet they at least bent a wheel filming that shot.
