The best drift car
 

which car is the best drift car you've driven?

My choise is the FC. it handles really good, got decent power even NA.

KA S13 drifts good, but it dies at higher RPM.

Corolla needs more power, parts are hard to find.

So...many...choices. X.x

Horse-power to weight ratio makes the HachiRoku the best. Strong engine perfect weight distribution. ...but butt ugly.:)

If you ask around the rotary community they'll say that the FC sucks for drifting ^_^

My pic would be a S13 coupe... engine doesnt really matter...

i dont think the parts are hard to find, there just getting expensive

well for variety of parts, cost, and preformence i would say the s13

The first winter that came when i had my licence oh some fun times in that baby :p

Ebrake Drifts...LOL

I have both S14MC and a RPS13.
Personally I think the S13 is a little more nimble. The S14 is great also, so this is a hard choice

s13 with bold tires, well any car that is lightweight, or heavy car with lots of power.

Bald tires really AREN'T the best for drifting. Why do you think they used slicks at the drags and at NASCAR? TRACTION! Bald tires are only really good for drifting if the track is wet. The reason many drifters use bald tires is that most are broke and cant afford to buy the tires that they go through os a good day. Jr goes through 10 - 12 tires a day at the track. The don't start out bald and they usually are never really smooth as the track tears them up pretty bad rather than wearing them smooth. The best tires are generally just bad enough that you wouldn't buy them for dailly driving but good enough that they are safe. He spends a ton of time at the base auto hobby shop and gets peoples thrown pout tires there. Otherwise he would rarely drift as tire are too fricking big of an expense otherwise.

The TRULY classic drift cars are the AE86 Hachiroku and the Sileighty. The sileighty came into existance as drift cars.http://www.importfanatix.com/Forums/...=&postid=23965

hey Gladhatter. i tried to go to the site and it wouldn't let me get in directly after I registered. Where can I find that tread?

Crummy link.
Sorry...it's just this picture....

thanks man, i didn't even know about that site also.

my first drift car was my moms 2001 ford focus 4 door 5 speed. was hot till i blew the tranny acouple times.

datsun 510 and 240z da best there is ,the best there was,and the best there everywill be!!all hail to datsun :bowdown: DATSUN

wow a lot of people said s13 sr! !


and i think only one person actually said why "more nimble"

any other comments?


so there good at drifitng... what about touge! ! !
(dont think ive seen a touge video of a 180sx)

i say S12 w/ the VG30E. what a hot little car!! haha the engine is silky-smooth for an old school V6, and its got plenty of torque throughout the whole useable rev range. it has similar weight to the S13 but with more standard HP and plenty of torque on tap, it breaks loose at little more easily. it just doesnt have as sophisticated a suspension (esp. in the rear) as an S13/14. :aw:

i think either an FC, or s13 KA (to learn) SR (to burn). S14 is good too:bow:

S14 fa sho!

s13/s14 is the most well balanced.. front to rear distrubution , even though its long the car still weighs less

hp/weight for an NA 86 is less than great. do the math.
a turbo car can easily even that gap with less parts/$$

talking to a lot of people at drift events and a few professional drifters i would rank it like this:
FD (hate to admit it)
s15 (more solid than s13/14)
350z (a bit heavy)
s14 (more solid than s13 not as good as s15. ask "society mike" from FA)
s13
FC (good car but it wants to grip. needs extensive suspension work. i know a few guys who drifted them and have since moved on. my little brother has one. he agrees)
86 (yeah, it's light, but needs WAY more power and a butt load of suspension parts. nothing special as near as i can figure. an old favorite among the older japanese drivers. popular in the US due to the bandwagon effect)

other cars...

cough s12 cough sr cough 400hp cough cough :fawkd: just wait and see...just wait and see.... :loco:

yeah, cough.... believe it when i see it... cough... who cares :) it's an still an s12.. cough.
j/k

wish i could say more but thats classified :mepoke:

S14 SR
or S13 SR

ae86 for course! but seroiusly, at grassroots level, i go s13.

the only car I've TRULY drifted was accidently....nissan maxima SE......although I "drifted" alot in the back parking lot in my ka powered S13.....scared the shit out of my girlfreind,and had alot of fun:)
