don't get pick up truck as a drift car. trust me.

why would suggest the absolute worst car to a person who literally who has never owned a car in their life before?

btw doing donuts in a small parking lot isn't drifting and neither is sliding in the grass

This is the best car for drifting

You don't even have to ebrake it clutch drift to go sideways. Weight distribution is beautiful

Skylines are great for drifting too. R32/33 GTSTs or R34 GTTs since they're all decently long wheelbase often with LSDs, and RWD with good power.

My R33 is a fucking nutcase when I throw it around, which is crazy because it's also a really grippy car when you want it to be.

Commonwhore.

they make good drift cars and are cheap.

Best ones that don't require fuck tons of money to modify

>350z
true
>240sx
true, welded diff and maybe some coilovers and you're set

>rx7
ehhh wouldn't suggest this to someon starting out in drifting, let alone driving

>skyline non GT-R
somewhat true but its still an expensive car here in the US

>sc300 (just strip it)
SC300 is a very heavy car, stripping it won't do much and there isn't a large aftermarket for the SC300, its not exactly a bad car but its not something I would suggest.

>old rwd mercedes diesels

wrong wrong wrong wrong.
Heavy, old, rusty, shitty electronics. Terrible suggestion

dont post my daughter you creep

I learned how to drift in my 05 gto. I started with donuts and worked my way up. Its a nice car to drift just a little on the heavy side but it has the power to make up for it. Also they all have lsd.

Man I've seen some crown vics tear Shit up at my local meets. Ones got a manual swap from a old 5.0

Ute

just buy a reliant robin, put training wheels on the front

Nice piece of broken shit!

Single jingle KA 240 5 speed, weld the diff and strip it. Pump the rear tires up to 50 psi and you can get some 3rd gear slides out of it

S13/14, 350z, RX7, E36

The best car for drifting is the one that you have a personal attachment too. It’s the one that you feel most comfortable driving. The one that you know how to control in any situation. And most importantly not one that other people suggest or tell you to get but one that you choose. Call me a fag but that’s how I see it.

no you're right in a way, but that being said having a car that is rwd, manual, with an LSD is a must. Car doesn't have to be lightweight but it helps, car doesnt have to have a bunch of HP but it helps. although its better to learn with a low HP car

Holy shit I forgot this existed. For the unaware, pic related.

>AWD
thats powersliding not true drifting lad

The Clio is MR lad, not sure where you're getting that from.

>he never played GT2

obviously

oh well in that case show an example of a clio drifting in Forumla Drift or D1GP since its the absolute best car to use for drifting.

Or show me one thats competing at an Amateur or Grass roots drifting event.

>heavy
>little to no aftermarket in terms of drifting

fun car to hoon around in an empty parking lot

dual cam would be better

aussies please go

>doing donuts at a car meet
>drifting

yeah no.

nah dude just pull the drift stick

nope and fuck ford and their gimmicky shit

Opel Omega with V6 is fun too

nope. show me at least 10 pictures or videos of an omega drifting at an top tier drift event you stupid cuck

you realize its lighter than the cresta in that pic, right? and B230s can take a lot of power

>light in the arse
>lots of torque
Where's the flaw?

volvo 340 1.4 and shove on the turbocharger from a Renault 5 turbo.

Why would a person want LSD instead of say positrac for a drift car?

>buying a car specifically for drifting
gross, but in general the best cars for drifting are long wheelbase rwd with decent low end power, weight isn't as big an issue in a 'drift car' as it is in a lot of other contexts

In my opinion, there is no best car for drifting (although an S13 is easy to control entry and exit). It's all in driver's preference. Ask a friend, drive their drift missiles and find your favourite.

>old Mercedes diesels
>wrong
Nah, they're fucking tanks and not bad at ripping hektik skiddz, you just have to be a good driver. To get her sliding, you have to scandy flick the everloving fuck out of it and mat the throttle to get the wheels spinning, but she gets there.

t. 300 Turbo Diesel driver who can keep up with s13's

>being this retarded

this man is right. Everything is possible with the right attitude. Just need power to the rear wheels

3k civic

>t. 300 Turbo Diesel driver who can keep up with s13's

keep up on the highway? yes. actual drifting no. especially if its bone stock. To actually get it sideways a lot of modifications are needed for that car like this one

If it were actually a good drift car, people would be using those instead of S- chassis you dumb delusional faggot

>Hey, lets just ignore simple physics and mathematics

you can't be serious

Drifting is very much a japanese thing, it was. There is where many of the champoinships take place, and it should come to no surprise that they use domestic cars

Furthermore, it is as he says. an S13 will drift, As will a a bog standard mustang, an M3 the 300D, and a volvo 740 with a welded rear diff. a massive amount of horsepower sure will help, but its simply not neccesary. Rear wheel drive is

uhh...

>It has to be RWD with an LSD
lol no

youtube.com/watch?v=U5RQQ-e4C1g

that's not drifting, just creative use of handbrake or lift off oversteer

A vintage ZX

Notice how that dude didn't connect any drifts? it was just one corner..... lol.

How about you watch this instead.
skip to 3:30 for a few examples of RWD drifting and then skip to 8:40 of a FWD Fiat Punto or whatever it is "drifting"
