240Dori · 07-31-2002, 05:49 PM

IMO, not one of those is even remotely close to being the "best" drifting car, by any means.

DrDubbleB · 07-31-2002, 11:21 PM

nevermind...saw the corolla...still going to just let this fade away though....

**edit** had to add the '...' because it signifies the post fading away, and thus adds to the drama. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Where's the R32 Skyline GTS-t?  C33 Laurel?  A31 Cefiro?  JZA70 Supra?  JZX100 Chaser?

boosteds14 · 08-01-2002, 08:57 AM

i believe its the RX-7

they handle great to stock

cbass · 08-01-2002, 02:56 PM

I'm going to go with a 1985 Sprinter Trueno GT Apex, mainly because I'm a sad Initial D addict, and it's a car I can afford!

I will probably stray from the crowd here by suggesting a German car and a British car.

Lightweight Porsche 968(stage 2 mods, 230rwhp)

TVR Cerbera, I just can't get enough of this car.

SR20DETlover · 08-01-2002, 11:49 PM

i only put american cars come on guys!

DrDubbleB · 08-02-2002, 12:24 AM

The Corolla is what I'm choosing, but not because I'm an Initial D addict (though I am, it's a great series, not just because it's about drifting), not because it's the best handling car stock, but because it's so cheap to get and fix up.  It's exterior parts are the cheapest out of all of the others, and therefore that makes it a great drifting car, which it happens to be good at also.

SR20Fastback · 08-08-2002, 04:20 AM

I've never seen a Z32 drift.... although my friend owns a 85 z31 turbo, and we like to mess around in parking lots at 3am with a camcorder.... as for best... I would have to say... cheapest/readily equipped car would be the corolla. I would like to think the rx-7's are good cars though. I just wouldnt trust myself drifting something thats like the net worth of a small 3rd world country...

GotDriftS14 · 10-31-2002, 07:32 PM

the best drifting machine is the JZX100 Toyota Chaser.

followed by the A31 Nissan Cefiro.

240meowth · 10-31-2002, 10:22 PM

i voted for a corolla, assuming the ae86, i think this is a good drift car, simply because, it's cheap, you mess it up, no worries

Dousan_PG · 11-04-2002, 09:50 PM

in japan, hachirokus arent cheap. run a good 12,000 USD over there.

adey · 11-16-2002, 02:47 AM

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.
