well firstly i like challeges so it would be some what of a help for me so maybe i could try to find one off the list and try to drift...2 a lot of ppl screw up like my friend....some one told him that all he needed to have a good drift car is a lot of power and rwd...which is far from the truth and he bought a 72 nova for 2,000 and now he is screwed because he dont want to chop it up to make it lighter and his pops wont let him sell it to buy something else

Yeah its the driver, not the car. Even the heaviest most uneven car can still drift. Sure you wont win the D1 but so what as long as you have fun right? I think your friend should just slap some crap tires on the back of his Nova and go sample. As for you, just pick what car you like and go with it.

any mid-engine car is hard to drift, because of the low moment of inertia.
