Classic Cars for Drifting?

trey · 12-22-2011, 07:29 AM

I was thinking of what cars from the past would make good drifters? A powerful rear driver, or one that can be made powerful should be ok. Something like a 280ZX Turbo or V8 Pacer could be interesting. What other classic rides can you think of?

280ZX

Pacer

Well, everyone knows about the AE86 Corolla, or the Japanese Trueno, which is the same thing. But the 200sx s14 is also a very good one that I think you could use.

97" wheelbase. Curb weight is about 2,200lbs stock. Tons of aftermarket mods available. Might me a little front heavy with a V8, but i'm not sure where it places with the front strut tower line.

OR.....

1976 Toyota Celica Liftback 2000 GT like this one

Ignoring you recommending the most popular drift cars on the planet...

S14 is not a classic car. S13 isn't even a classic car. 25 years to classify.
