/pol/ here. How is this car as far as learning how to drift is concerned? I've been racing crazy bitches on the road since I learned how to drive, but I've never actually attempted drifting, let alone high-speed drifting.
Also, hi. I had no idea we had an auto board until this year, and I've been browsing this site for a decade.
I own this car. Pic related. It drifts pretty easily at lower speeds. Responds well to countersteer. Never tried higher speeds though!

What you need for that to be an okay drift car
>stiffer springs >modified knuckles for mad steering angle >gut the car, shed as much weight as you can >if it's a V6 throw it in the trash >a manual transmission >a good clutch to kick the shit out of >driver mod
Or you can do none of the above and just go throw the thing sideways and hope for the best

Maybe little tail slides at low speeds in a huge open area with no traffic/humans. Watch out for crowds.

Nice meme but mustangs are really underrated for starter drift cars
>cheap as fuck >v8 >rwd >manuel >parts are plentiful and cheap Really all you need is a cheap GT, and spend some cash on suspension
as long as you have people on the sidelines watching you can drift into them no problem.

get a much older Mustang to learn how to drift. You WILL crash, and it's better to constantly repair something you don't care about versus you pride and joy daily driver.

Any advice for a guy whose knowledge of drifting literally extends as far as "I watched Initial D: First Stage once"?
Mine is not a GT, unfortunately.
Those sound like some decent ideas, and I have been thinking about upgrading my V6, thanks.
Given the weight of the front, I would not be surprised if a bad driver could turn this car into a wrecking ball.
Seeing as it's an automatic, can I still drift using only the brakes?
Perhaps if the inauguration doesn't go as planned, but otherwise I will be exclusively trying not to drift into anything.

kys buy a light cheap manuel rwd car and weld the diff, coilovers, modded steering knuckles.
