is it RWD? then it drifts. enough said. which Z are you talking about? 350Z? Z32 300ZX? Z31 300ZX? Z3? Z4? Z28? 240Z? 280Z? 260Z? throw us a bone man! if you mean Z32 300Z, then the only thing i've heard is they're heavy. if you mean 350Z, then i haven't heard anything yet.

Also when you say they're too heavy doi you mean that they don't drift as well because of that?

that's what i've heard. i heard the weight distribution isn't very good and the car is heavy and hard to drift, although i've seen a few good drifters who've modified their cars to overcome that. they make excellent grip cars if you're into that...

no rwd car is a bad car to drift with, some are just more difficult b/c they weigh more, balance issues and what not...

it's easy to overcome the problem with the issues the car has..

balance the weight, lotsa neg camber, big power...

it's not too hard, it just takes more skill to do it

less weight out back is good, easier to get the ass to move around... gut it...
any car with good handling will inherently be good to drift
