are you kidding me!?!? 12k US!? I thought they could be had for like 100,000 yen or something like that...
I did read, however, an article that talked of the slowly but surely diminishing number of Hachirokus and 4AG engines, it sounded really... sad!
I would think the 180sx/S13 silvia are the "best" drift cars, simply because parts are abundant, sunk costs (cost of actual car and initial start-up costs) are relatively low (compared to f-ing expensive JZX100 chasers and JZX110 Verossas... :sexy: - not to mention a pricey ER34 or JZZ-30 drift machine...), the car itself is very well balanced, and power plant can easily attain the "magic" 350rwhp number for the newer-school drifters (with their massive 17 and 18" rims etc), as well as make an adequate 250-300rwhp for the older-school drifters (w/ 15 & 16" rims and ghetto exteriors.)
I think the FC3S is also a very good drift car, for similar reasons. The only reason it wouldn't be as 'practical' (hah! how oxymoronic) a drift-car as an S13 is because of the more expensive-to-maintain 13B-T and lower supply of body shells, parts, and engines.
