Cars over 1200 kg don't drift?

[MSTER232]

So I dont quite grasp the concept of what makes drifting car a good drifting car.

Experience tells me the Suspension is only half the deal.. I know that it HAS to be light and have a decent HP or rather HP that would match its weight. (Levin only needs 260 HP at 900 kg)

But for example I got a hold of Mustang STV Cobra '00 brought it up to 700HP and down to 1324kg that I thought would make magic but no matter what I do to suspension etc it refuses to glide. Pulling an e break and car just stops sideways...Is there any secret to it??

Who said they couldn't drift? I drift a Toyota Supra and have done no weight reduction modifications to it, and as a result it weighs at least 1500 kg+ and I am still able to drift with it. It's not the weight that is the main problem, it's the weight transfer and the suspension setup that helps you get your car sideways.

I was messing around in an online lobby with a drag-tuned SVT lightning and noticed it liked to drift around corners pretty easily. Has anyone ever tried to drift trucks? Less traction over the rear wheels may be easier to control the oversteer?

Most drag tuned cars drift really well I've noticed.

Well, I tried drifting the Silvia RM, and I couldn't. I was barely going over 150km/h. Turned out all the aero was on almost full. I just brought them down to zero and bam! drifts like a charm.

I love that thing so much more than the Genki S15. It's a blast to drift.

Yeah, that's 'cuz most drag tuned cars have most of their weight on the front of the car. So the nose goes first, then the rear follows.

cl600 drifts mad. easy as to get the thing sideways thats 1700kg

any car can drift with the exception of FF cars and AWD cars
just slap in some CH tires on any car and let your skill do the rest

If you slap the right tires on it, the Ford RS200 loves to spin the tires around turns all day long. I've heard a few subies are good at it too but never tried.
