dont forget the f-body camaros, very solid car for the job, and cheap and everywhere......


and then of course the 1st gen rx7 is overlooked way to much for giggle to be happy, its a lightweight, well balanced, rwd of course, and enough power to get sideways.....


the older miatas are popular, one downside is it has a softtop, but a rollcage can help you get confident, and for the performance you get its cheap, and there is a huge aftermarket for it. Some people have drifted these also but i dont think i've seen one really kick ass, yet....


if money is no object, then the cadillac cts v is actually supposed to be very good, you would think it would have a lot of bodyroll, but after seeing a couple videos i was surprised.


or of course you could always go with one of these.....=D

One Reason is Angle. the Fox Body has absolutly none of it... Alex from Drift Day down here in texas tried to use one but it ended up not working out so he went back to a 240.

If I had a trillion dollars to build a drift car Id use an LS430.

Re: To Answer All Drift Car Selection Questions

Ok im prepared for how much most of you will disagree with me b/c im not an import guy but I like drifting so Ill say in a nutshell any rear wheel drive chevrolet between the years of 71-87 ( i think thats when the monty switched to fwd) would make a good drift car if you can hang it out there with simple mods making more power, lightening the car a little, and differantial lock of some sort. Fox body mustangs/ thunderbird/ cougar are all bacsically the same chassis with the exeption of tbirds and cougars used a 108 inch wheelbase and the mustang was 100 even if i remember right. The 5.0 was available in all of the 3 and the tbird had a turbo 2.3 which was pretty powerfull and was balanced a little nicer. Also the MN12 chassis of tbird and cougar which used IRS from 89-97 or 98 and could either come with a 5.0, 3.8, or not sure of the size but a turbo 6 cylinder, these cars are a 107.5 inch wheelbase and are vary stable in a slide the hard part is getting them to step out in the first place.

If you wanted to drift and had little more freetime and fabrication skills ive always wanted to see a pickup of some sort drift either a 60s c10 or s10 or ranger fitted with a v8. Just thought i would throw ina few domestic drift possiblities b/c its a great sport and would hate to let the imports have all the fun lol.
