The best drift car

[doritaka]

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

[doritaka]

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.

[Traen]

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

[elevator]

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

[Maeda]

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...

[jaaaaaaaaap]

Corolla needs more power, parts are hard to find.

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

[MadScientist]

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

[fastpace]

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

[elevator]

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/attachment.php?s=&postid=23965

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

[fastpace]

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

[720_datsun]

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

[hondaguy]

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

[the240sxer95]

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)

[GotDriftS14]

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:

[ONYX S-13]

I'm gonna say FD's..Fairly light, super agile, and good power..The best of all worlds.

[No Motiv]

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

[badass69]

S14 fa sho!

[foodawg]

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

[s13srmadness]

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

[s13srmadness]

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...

[steve shadows]

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

[s13srmadness]

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

[steve shadows]

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:

[Zed]

S14 SR
or S13 SR

[balmo]

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

[Ghettokracker71]

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:)

[DrDriftS14]

i like my 95 240 the best, in my opinion the S13s have to much understeer

[nightwalker]

I like my 89 240 the best, in my opinion the S14s have to much weight

[TRUENOCOUPE]

THERE IS NO BEST DRIFT CAR. ITS THE DRIVER!

Morons.

yeah seriously, I go out a drift shcool buses all the time! what a rush :jerkit:

the truth is there are some cars that are better to start out with in order to build a good driver than others and many "PRO" drifters have their favorites, like tanaguchi and the s series and ueo and the corrolla these guys just have their own personal favorties. thats all, of course the driver is the key but whats the key getting plugged into. Sure i can say i am a mercenary but what kind of weapons do I have access to and which ones do I do battle with the best? 7.62 X 39, or .223 ? ya know :bite:

[MakotoS13]

you gotta be kiddin me. i wonder if anyone truly believes its possible to drift a fwd... *sigh*

[nissantuner22]

drifting, ass dragging, its all the same.. *giggles*

[HyperTek]

this tread is pointless... This might make more sense to compare cars in stock form, since modifications are driver preference.

He asked, WHATS THE BEST DRIFT CAR? Maybe I should of put his words into "Whats the BEST drift Car out there that had been driven by the best drivers."

I don't drift. Drifting is boring.

[a2ddryft]

FCs dont really need extensive suspension work.. just rear toe-steer eliminators. i used to have one. they drift alright, but cant hang with the toe. great grip cars

after driving the fc, a freinds corolla and my s13.. the s13s tail comes out the easiest (this is a stock-form comparison) but anything can be tweaked with suspension and more power.. balance, however, is the key. :cool:

[*NismoS13*]

S13 SR gets my vote......

[Drift101]

hmmm... i think this forum is SLIGHTLY biased towards the s-chassis cars

[Var]

86 was my favorite so far, but it was HIGHLY modified more than any other car i've driven. All cars are capable of things that are out of my skill range

[zero.counter]

The said, " best drift car", would be any car you yourself deem to be the best. To say best would obviously state a matter of opinion. Many will have different opinions and some will almost obliterate you if you don't agree with them. They are prolly dem(s) and want to control your opinions and will not settle for less. Open minded people will stay and let others speak their mind instead of opressing them...

So my choice is whatever I have seen, heard, driven, etc. that do what the title suggests.

i love your sig, this is why eastern culture is my true religion of choice

[potu]

YOu must understand that power has no meaning but control is the key. Any body can drift a high power car, But can every body drfit low power AE86?

yes. like butter

[cefiro]

I like cefiro's cause here in aus we have them first one for me was stock rb20 button clutch teins etc and nice easy drift car.
my current project has an sr20 trust t518z 10 cm turbo mech locker teins all the stuff. this is better casue it has heaps of power.

OMG, my first drift was in my mom's 2001 ford focus too. except the one i was driving is an auto. hahahaha.

[MakotoS13]

actually, both of you are wrong.

[iyceman]

datsun 510 and 240z da best there is ,the best there was,and the best there everywill be!!all hail to datsun :bowdown: DATSUN
Please tell me you're joking, the 240Z is incredibly difficult to drift and takes a good deal of mods to work well. :tweak:

[Chernobyl]

And you would know because you have driven one?

240z isnt that hard to drift. I've owned one, I've drifted it... no big deal. Harder than S14, but not INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT.

[iyceman]

Yes, I HAVE driven one jack-ass. I haven't owned one, granted, but my friend has had 5 so far, and he said that the chassis design wasn't very condusive to any sort of over-steer short of a full throttle powerslide. To me that means it isn't that great for drifting, thus making it NOT the best car for drifting.

[S13SilviaGirl]

hmmmm, I have to say an s13 coupe is the best. Why? Because I like em! HAHAHA In all seriousness, I love my SR coupe and it handles really well. Btwn my coupe and Kevins FB I like the coupe much better. But it is all a matter of personal preference. Like Cefiro said....cefiros (confused look hahaha) kick ass at drifting too if you know how to handle them, the have a lot of body roll and what not, but it dosnt mean that they can't be manipulated into a nicely pulled off drift. That statment goes for any car. You know how to drive it and you can make it do anything you want.

[240niz]

S13 ditto for me

[khoadogg]

s13 SR, reliable, nice power/weight. Cheap parts to replace. And it's cheap on insurance!!!!!!!!!

[DriftDragon28]

I have to admit that the S13 is a great chasis. Ive driven one for a year and its seen more than its fair share of touge/drift time. Ive also drivin a fe FCs. the fc is a great track car and sticks like glue. the s13 is a bit more like a go-kart with the back end comming out much easier.

Im going to have to say for ease of use/repair/parts sourcing/aftermarket support the s13. HOWEVER im selling my s13 and buying a TII :eek: Its time to be different. Thats what drifting is all about. Be urself. your out there to have fun. Build what you like. Drive what you love. Drift what you brought. Let others do the same and stop flameing.

I bet an SS El Camino would be a good time. :bite:

[ghostuss]

all car can be good at drifting depending on amount of mods done to them and how they are setted up to the driver's like. The buttom like is just go with ur favorite car and drift. :2f2f:

Why do people insist on saying that you can't drift in a FF? I was actually reading an article the other day, well, actually like a year ago, and this ff civic was in a drift contest in Hawaii, and he beat out most of the other cars. And come to think of it, I think there's a tuner mag out right now with an article about a Japanese FF drifter in it. Just because you do something differently doesn't mean you're not doing it. It's take's more control/work to have controled drifts in a FF, but to say it's not drifting is just plain stupid.(don't worry, I know poeple are gonna flame)
My second car was a 1st gen neon. I got springs for it one day that were stupid stiff, and the back alot more so than the front. After I installed them, the car had a fair amount of oversteer. It was actually really easy for me to initiate drifts in it. Bumpin the brake to take load off the back, and flickin the steering wheel sent it sideways, but controling it was difficult for me. I could make ok drifts though. Anyways, I'm just sayin you can drift in a FF.

[mr_240sx]

wheres the S15 option? :goyou:

[AllenRPS13]

of course RPS13!!! as i am driving it now! but i think the best drift car is AE86

[drewtoes]

s13 sr all the way. but much props to all drift cars includnig the AE86.

[Liger]

Nissan Cefiro...hands down...its like a 4door silvia...you can drift and the rest of your family can ride too hahahahha

[Siege_a]

MIATA, of course. EXTREMLY lightweight, nearly perfectly balanced, and (with the SR) has bundles of power. Hopefully it will be good anyway, as that's what's I'm working on.

nah i have one and its hard to break the rear loose, the car is TOO balanced and handles really well more suited for auto-x or road racing not drifting.. leave that to the corollas and the S-chasis

i dont drift and im not into drifting and i scoff at anyone who askes me if i drift, but i have to admit seeing that black EF hatch drift makes me want to try it w/ my crx.. thats the only car i would try drifting in cuz its still somewhat *new* to me but the common RWD drift is just played out... seen it all man

[JDMs13]

Nissan s13 chassis with whatever motor. Hands down, absolutely no questions asked. You can put zero dollars into that car and get it sideways no problemo.

s13 sr... atleast for me

[hellspare]

How many us of have driven all of those cars? I bet most of us just own one of them. Of course a s13 owner is going to say the s13 is good, likewise for other car owners. There's only a few of you on here that actually knows what you are talking about.

[dreamer]

the best car for drifting is the one that has the most money put into it and the one who has the most skilled driver.

[Phlip]

Best drift car? Ford Pinto, hands down
