what constitutes a perfect drift car ?

[mudduck3006]

i have been thinking of what would be a perfect drift car no dont get started up on the s13 s14 ae86 band wagon but no japanese cars i mean if you got skill even a mb 300sd turbo can be drifted but which would be a you fav and why?

[markeese180sx]

uh...whats wrong with japanese cars? and why not the s13 and s14...and hachi...because they are good drift cars...im sorry that the cars on the bandwagon are good cars...so i would have to say i JdM styleZ HoNdA CiVIc TyPe R wiTH supah bouncY hyDrawwwwlikazaz...wiTh NaWWWWWWz...and doRiFuto It CuZ itZ not On Dah BanD WagoNz

[hachiroku-fc3s]

You both have points. Anything can be drifted and there does seem to be a bandwagon and there is a desire from many to get an unusual drifter. Markeese has a point though, these cars are the good cars. The perfect drift car would be FR and 50/50 or near to it weight distribution. The rest is pretty much up to the driver. You are not gunna find many cars that meet these requirements though, and nothing american. Good luck.

But you left out, possible the greatest, the mighty FC.

[markeese180sx]

oh yes! the all-mighty FC! lol i was thinking about getting one when i move to florida

[panda_3ight_6]

Hey, why dont you just get a car that you want... if you want to drift...and claim you can drift any kind of car... then get any kind of car... dont come and ask what cars... come up with a list of your own... Markesse that was incribaly dumb... first...TaLKinG LikE ThiS is just a form of style... you might not do that... but some people do.. and DO YOU HAVE A HOND CIVC TYPE R? Do you have Hydro suspenison? Do you have NO2? No... and I'm sure they cost plenty more then you have to spend on them... I'm not trying to flame im saying... keep to your personal style and dont hate on others...*Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*... HaHAaHA.. I CaN TAlk LIke DIs ToOh BiZNat...

[young gun]

are u too retarded to understand sarcasim? cause your post is retarded

[panda_3ight_6]

Uh.. Do you have room to talk? Maybe you didnt notice the part where most of this forum is about serious enthuistist and not people wasting bandwith to ask these questions over and over and over and over again...

I got yo back homie dont waste your time "SARCASIM"
Well just stop here to say thanks for the advise on my suspenion.

[cerian_ca]

Well if you mean by "good drift cars...no japanese please" rwd cars that are not japanese, there's plenty of them but knowing if they're good or not is something else.. I'm sure 3rd gen camaros/trans-am would be good, porsche 944 are posches and they're cheap (like 8000cnd) umh... I like the question it makes me think of other cars that would be fun to see drift like a crown vitoria! Hmm it's harder than I tought, well corvettes and mustangs are probably not too bad. Maybe a gmc syclone with some stuff in the back... yuk! But HEY if it pulls enough power no matter if it's a fwd(as long as it has a well functionning hand-brake) or rwd I think it can be drifted.

BTW: My car is a fwd without a well functionning hand-brake but with all the snow we have here(Quebec) at the moment I still can have fun with it.

[markeese180sx]

lol damn someone has some anger problems or something....i was just joking dude jeez dont bite my head off

[markeese180sx]

and i dont hate civic type r's or nos or hydralics...i was doing the TyPiNg StUfF like that to annoy you...theres nothing wrong with nos..nothing wrong with wanting to go faster dont hate bro...didnt mean any harm

[Ghost of Duluth]

This is one of them there stupid threads. You know the ones that make folks mad for no reason and ask the same new person question 10000 times. I think this person should have read the forums over and seen that everyone and their mother has ansewred this very question before. All this did was make folks mad at others over nothing.

Whatever car you want, get it. That will be your perect drifter.

HAhAhahahh. LOL. Yeah. Thats a good one. *wipes tears out of eyes and collects self*

Oh and that is young guns only post. hehe.

Umm...I mean. Yes, search button, everything can be drifted, we hate rice, we hate nos, we are the best and everyone is stupid and doesnt deserve to be helped, etc.

Figured Id leave the typical response.

[mudduck3006]

what i meant was simply this i can get a german or american car for dirt cheap or free where i live. I have to pay out the nose for a
japanese car. Thats why i asked, not to get a bunch of snotty narrow minded remarks about why japanese cars are better

[markeese180sx]

uh ok whatever...where is north calakaky snacklaekkyltenaslkyn? or whatever?

[driftxtreem]

personaly I like the flinstones car that open air in your face when your bustin around a corner, Man Oh and everybody can see you wavin to the croud in it to. they came pretty set up from the quarry Ive seen them with double bolder shock absorbers, and anti fur bars, and marble rocker covers. The hand cut quarry wheels are the best.

[Ghost of Duluth]

All flaming aside. The perfect drift car is the car that you can drift while feeling comfortable, in control and can afford.

Simple as that. There is no perfect drift car. Only what feels perfect to the driver.

[banged240_drift]

gohst of duluth is right
i mean ibash fwd "drifting" but if thast your thing man do it....
but yeah if you can get those carsyou were talkin about dirtcheap
than by all means go for it ......and depite what whoever said it yes some american cas are pretty well balanced, like the v-6 camaroes for instance dont ask me where to get parts but they are fairly balanced

[mudduck3006]

thanks for the non flaming remark yeah i was thinking the camaro since i can get a 88 for 150 bucks you can get alot of stuff from jegs.com or summit racing they got crap for f bodys on there they got alot of stuff you can use for japanese drift cars too like the oil coolers and stuff cheap. I know if it makes you comfortable but why i asked was if anybody has had experiance with these non japanese aars and what kinds of little quirks they have drift wise

[clutch]

a chevy camaro is a good domestic drifter.

[Ghost of Duluth]

That is why you search the forum and the members. Because there is an F body drifter on here and he is a well of information. CrazyHawaiian drifts a Maro. He knows it well and is a great person to talk to on that. You can't go wrong on the price you paid so go for it.

[240sx2envy]

a good drift car is a 50/50 weight car that is rwd not that ff bull shet that people think there drifting, its not drifting. a camero or some muscle car would be good because it has lots of torque to start the drift you just need to really stiffen it up and make it 50/50.

[nissanguy_24]

A 50/50 weight distribution is not nessisary to drift. Just try to make sure its not too bad. Generally speaking it seems most people believe a lighter rear makes it harder to swing out, but easier to control, a heavier rear makes it easier to swing the rear out, but harder to control (IE stop from spinning).

240sx have pretty light rears, not bad distribution mind you. but not the best. Especialy with the spare tire and back seat out. Mine is like that and it takes some effort to get the back out. but its pretty easy to control from there on.

They say MR2s love to swing the rear end around, but are hard to keep from spinning.

So i assume a 50/50 like a miata or a FC would be right in the middle. if someone drifts a car with a perfect weight distribution i'd love to hear how it feels in a drift.
