Drift car

[michrulejj]

I have been drifting a little and was wondering what should I look for when trying to find a drift car? Like like what specs on cars? I am just trying to find a car that is good and not many people have. Leave your suggestions below.

There are only three things a drift car has to have (in my opinion):
-powered rear-wheels (includes AWD)
-reasonable power (>150hp, depending on weight)
-not too much downforce (Super GT cars e.g. are bad)

I started drifting in a Plymouth Superbird just because...it had RWD and I liked it.
There are no restrictions. If there is enough power, you can get it sideways.
There may be a few cars that can't drift, eventhought they have enough power (Veyron), but those are usually cars that you wouldn't even want to drift. If you want an unusual car, there is a thread for that in this forum.

Ok thanks. I have been using Corvette zo 6. Kind of cheating with all the horsepower though.

Probably better avoided at this point.

If you're on appropriate compound tires, the horsepower isn't what would make it a cheater car. Instead, the tire width contributes far more to the car's performance potential. I know the ZR-1 has 335mm rear tread width and I'm betting the aut six is close to that, whereas the 86 GT and like cars have 215s.

Just get a car with a good torque curve first. Liek a 30Z or Nissan S-chassis
