u wanna get a car to do some drifting?? get a ae86 hatch

perfect for drifting...(yet harder to drift than s13)

you will gain ALOT of skill with the ae86

maybe look into the s12 200sx. they are either v6 (gay, dont get it too heavy), turbo 4 (weak), or n/a 4 (even weaker). but they might be a good beginner drift car. i dont know too much about them tho....

the car doesn't matter.

it's the driver.

and don't just expect to jump into drifting and be good right away. it will take YEARS.

ive drifted some with my supra, im getting okay at it, i just wanted to see some opinions on some LIGHTER cars that drift well. and im starting to like Nissans (silvias+skylines).ive been driving (racing) cars for 4 years now. im starting automotive school next month, and im selling cars right now for money, i might open a web site for my business, i plan to customize cars. i do body work (starting to) and i install custom audio systems ( pretty basic stuff right now, plan to learn fiberglass work.) I also have a 95 3000GT base ( got it for 2,000-hell of a deal)

tell me the last time you saw a boost guage add power...... what you listed here wouldn't make it "brutally fast" at all. Lets see some pics of this brutally fast supra.
