I know the Japaneese cars are more popular with drifting but they are starting to get too common. My proposal is to get other cars from different nationalities slidin sideways.
Ahhhh, yes. I love muscle cars, domestic 4 bangers, pretty much all that uncle SAM puts out, I can tolerate.
When I first had my drift car list two of the cars were Chevy's all I did was throw on some sims, bump up the camber on the front, zero out the camber in the rear and apply a little more UMPH to the power band then went at it.
The Camaro SS drifts very lovely with only a modified drivetrain and sims.
I find that the Corvette ZO6 needs a little more horsepower, around 530 is what I had.
The C5R is still my favorite American drift car because of it's LSD. It's soooo perfect. All I did was throw on some sims and take it out.
The Viper needed a little more work, drivetrain and engine mods were a neccesity and it definately takes a lot to break it free, I'd say around 600hp. But it's such a great driver that why would you want to mess it up by making it a drift car??? It's fun to drift, don't get me wrong, but driving it is like controlling a dragon. Just plain liberating. AND, ooh ooh, you don't even need to get a LSD because it drifts well with the stock open end.
WOW!
My real life Camaro has the same weight balance as a Toyota Supra so it's lovely to take that thing sideways, but, that's only for purposes of showing off.
