A few other cars to check out that i think would be unique drift cars would be: Scion tc, VW golf, chevy colbalt,chevy caviler, ford focus,toyota paseo,BMW 3 series,audi TT.:2cents:

Other cars-5.0 mustangs,lexus is30's,mistu bishi eclipse,honda prelude,nissan 350z,infiniti G35.

You forgot my 1995 Ford Windstar minivan. That thing is a drift monster... lol

Got the engine wrong in the S2K... it's an F20. The K20 is in the RSX and 02-04 Si...

unique ass draggers cars would be: Scion tc, VW golf, chevy colbalt,chevy caviler, ford focus,toyota paseo...

There fixed that... LOL

BTW, welcome to AF...

This thread makes me laff.

he forgot RX-8, GTO, Solstice/redline, FC.

And no the FD motor is not bullet proof. They are self destructive motors that unless the reliability mods are done they wont last you very long.

great some freakin replies

the RX-7 is a mazda not a fricking nissan:chair:
and next time put up a 56k warning for thosesout there who still use their parents slow a$$ computer
but besides that welcome

the RX-7 is a mazda not a fricking nissan:chair:



:lol: I didn't see that, had to scroll up and see it for myself. hahaha that's classic.

Nissan makes RX-7's? Gotta get me one of those. Sounds rare.

theres already a list of cars on this site. Not to mention there are cars that should be on the top 10 that u forgot like the Mustang and Camaro i realize drifting started in japan but theres no rule that says u need a rice burner to drift. Thats the best part about drifting its more about the driver than the car. I think i would kill to see someone drift a custom 32 ford hotrod at d1 though lol.

.. I think i would kill to see someone drift a custom 32 ford hotrod at d1 though lol.

that would rock

or get a classic benz and seriously mod it as you would do with any drift car get a modest 200-300 hp/tq that would be the crap

oo man especially one of the old diesel benzes lol. imagine that shit sideways with white tire smoke and about twice as much black smoke rollin out sidepipes lol :iceslolan god that would be kick ass actually no one would ever be able to foloow u close or they wouldnt be able to see lol. Is there a rule or soemthing that says u cant drift trucks? i mean i had a old ford 4x4 with a lift and 35s and that 460 would put that truck sideways with barely any effort..... all the lil hondas would be shaking if that thing was chasing em down

i dont think i would be able to put a truck sideways fraid it tip but yeah even if it was just a crowd pleaser a diesel benz drifter putting out black and white smoke that would be the crapping bomb

tip? i take it u havent drivin many trucks. my last pickup had a 6 inch lift and 35 inch tall tires with a 5 speed transmission. it was built for mudd but you could hang it out sideways all day long and it would pull right of it. the only problem was new tires were $200 a piece and that got old after the second set.

im still thinking of big huge diesel drifters
what kind of truck do you have?
and i havent driven any modern trucks lately just my big huge family van that was new in 92

You know the original poster of this thread sent me a PM saying RX-8's arent good for drifting because the throttle response sucks, uhhhh that sounds straight out of F&F3 where the chick was saying there is something wrong with the throttle respose....Has he never heard of Rod Millen? Granted rod is using a swapped motor, but it is still an RX-8. Also there is Tsuchiya who drifted the RX-8 easily with no complaints in his best motoring video.

Ah yes, the Fast and the Furious, the fountain of knowledge for all modern car enthusiasts...


P.S. gotian: 2 thumbs up for the RX-8!

Thank you, and I was telling him that I own a RX-8 and I would know first hand how the car takes to drifting and hard corners. If this guy tested one for that maybe he got a base model where he wasnt able to turn off the traction control.

I cant do it with the truck i got now ...believe me I tried lol its a 71 ford f250 i bought to restore and just havent gotten around to it yet so its still got a straight 6 and 4 speed. my last pickup was an 87 ford f150 with the lift and all. I dont really like newer cars to much electronics. If yall think drifting is fun u outta check out what i race go to www.bringingitlive.com (http://www.bringingitlive.com) and watch the figure 8 races

thats awesome dude
and i hear you about the newer cars im the kinda guy who likes to fix everything myself

Evo? Cavalier? Scion? Why would you think those would be good? FWD, AWD, unless you're F&F 3, go rwd

A good place to drift is an indoor karting track, the surface is so slippery that the kart fishtails whenever you apply full throttle. I'm right because the definition of drifting means to break the traction of the tires...and there's almost no traction at an indoor place.

yeah but most tracks that let you drive their carts will not have carts good enough for that

hey i listed the fucking mustang it just not # 1 -10 jfc chill

i dont think i would be able to put a truck sideways fraid it tip.

i got my ex's truck sideways. well, sort of. i gave to too much throttle turning onto the highway and the tail swung out about a foot.

I've done that before, but I wouldn't drift it intentionally, mine is too high to drift without tipping over.

must be really high up there or a short bed b/c i had a long bed that was alot of fun drifting around the bad part is finding good winding roads in southern iowa. so half the time u just have to settle with snow cover and intersections.

the best weather for learning:grinyes:

i'd like to point out that this dude is right about the evo for any one who has ever drove one or owend one they will tell you that the rear likes to break lose also it is a IS300 or toyota atteza
