That music deserves a very chaotic editing, lot's of cuts, and camera shaking, some extreme detail. I see quite nice camera angles following by average ones at best.
What I'd do is
1. Sync it perfectly to the music - would make TONS of difference
2. Special effects :
Add some fine detail in editing, like camera mounted on the quarterpanel, facing the wheel, and dirt and bits of rubber getting stuck on the camera's lense for example, obstructing the view a bit.
Also in some shots where cars are rapidly approaching or leaving - give it a bit of blur fading in and out, simulating camera trying to find focus. it should be done very quickly, so it wouldn't feel stretched out.
Give it slightly less pronounced colour correction. So it would feel more natural, the effects i mentioned before would give it enough of a dirty and raw look, compensating for the colour scheme of the whole video.
3. Camera work
If you use first person view - rotate the camera around simulating head/eye movement, maybe add helmet view overlay, so it feels like you're looking from the driver's eyes. Use more cameras positioned on the car (quarterpanels, hood, roof), as if you're using HD Hero GoPro camera in real life. It adds to the realism of the video, and use less cameras floating through the air if possible.
Accent your video by showcasing some fine detail (just for half a sec in a quick cut sequence is fine) like rev limiter light lighting up, or the tachometer when the RPM climbs rapidly, maybe low FOV view of the rear wheels locking up wiht help of handbrake, or taillights igniting, wheel being turned, cone on the track being hit and flying off etc etc etc.
Also do it widescreen and as high a defenition as you can...
Your camera shaking is a nice touch, I liked that one quite a bit.
Hope that helps make your next video a killer one

WHAT THE HELL?!?! 
I guess there weren't any flaws in the video, cause I didn't see any, because I am not even going to pretend I actually watched the video, the song itself stole the show and ran away with it shouting "chase me! chase me!"
Laughed so hard

one serious drawback of such a video - it ends too soon, I was ready to see about 10 more minutes of that action 
Very good work on effects, but camerawork could have been a bit better. Also I totally didn't feel the sound overlays. It just didn't feel natural in any way, starting from the sound of the engine itself, and up to the way you implemented it.
I think you should have gone for a better video to rip the sound from. The one with much more different driving done, and filmed from different angles.

usually clicking "optimise stills" and "deinterlace the video" removes all interlacing, Bavorak. Why didnt it work for you - I got no idea
so, from this commercial we have learned that a Mini is a pefrect obstacle for proper manly machines?
Anyway, this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq-AtzZuSJw is the best commercial with a mini I've seen...

read : We can't initiate a slide without having brakes so far back that they don't work when we actually need them, we also can't initiate a burnout by doing a "doughnut".
I see drifting has picked up some major talent since I've dropped LFS
You wouldn't mind me using your girlfriend to film a very artsy and beautifully edited porno then?
Direct2Drive or Atari website. $40.
One thing i dont get is how do they manage to price a DVD and a Download at the same price? Also why the hell is Steam asking for 50 eur... :\
one thing i dont understand is, how do people manage to drift, yet not be able to do a normal burnout? Facing a wall and mashing the accelerator is caveman level simple, i know, but having brake and accelerator on at the same time isn't?
I'm just going to download it off the cheapest retailer and burn it to a dvd anyway, shame it's not steam... Steam would have been convenient
aaaw maaan.. my dad brought one of these from abroads when I was just a little kid. Back in USSR days. I used to stare at all the toys that are available to the "unforunate starving non USSR countries"... wanted a kettcar so badly... sadly there was absolutely no way to bring that goodness to the "great, happy and prosperous USSR"
Childhood drama I guess XD

[Swe]re's intro is the one without any technical mistakes you can pinpoint, and is in my opinion much better directed. Devildare - close but no cigar. Others need some practice making LFS movies, there's room to improve. 
Nevertheless good job guys.
Nevertheless good job guys.as a person who has hospitalised a guy at 3 AM in my own apartment right after waking up from the break in noise, using a baseball bat, I say yeah... good point, have weapons. Also get proper locks for your door.
VERY impressive. I liked it quite a lot. There are a few problems here and there, also the black/white filter I'd replace with something more classy, other than that - NICE.
