On my off time from studying for exams, I've been devoting my time to making all 130+ cars in my garage into drifters( yes, I do have too much time on my hands). The Calsonic Skyline and the Zonda race car are very nice ones. What are some out of the ordinary drift that you use?
 
i've been playing around a little with the Storia and the Alto Works just for fun
you can really toss them around
kei cars are fun :D
 
try drifting this car...

hmm. i've played with some of the LM race cars or Road racing cars... i tried make cars with 1000 hps into drifting cars... eh -_-;
 
i like drifting wit the tom's supra and the CWest S15. i find that theyre perfect for high speed corners cos theyre real stable n the front tires just stick to the ground
 
i was just playing around too...and i find it way easy to drift with the skyline (vspec II).....i had slick on the front and sims on the back, it had around 480hp....it was soo easy to drift with.....but thats just me
 
hmmm let's see... clio sport, lambo, zonda, mrs, mustang svt, MR del sol, AWD ITR, suzuki alto works, elise, espirit, FR pt cruiser, camaro, speedster, clk, vertigo, AWD accord, zz-s, storia, 787b, AWD ctr, and a couple other weird ones i don't use.
all those cars and i'm not that great with any of them.
i do like seeing/using a variety of cars rather than the typical nissans, toyos, subs, mits, and mazdas

Tom's Chaser is a good drifter indeed... I'm still quite fond of this car....
 
There are few cars I myself would consider wierd or off or unusuall to drift less it's a race car, but even then.

I'll put it this way, from what I can tell. Most drifters here tend to use Japan based machines right? Maybe some Euros, most of the drifting cars I have are American. None of them to me seam unusuall, be it my Corvette Z06 (well two, both with their stock power, and stock weight, suspension/trans/brakes etc however are heavily modifed), Camaro Z28, Mustang SVT Cobra R, etc.

You'd figure on one end since I'm an American muscle car fan to a heavy degree (depsite my DA account saying mostly otherwise and whatnot), I would probally not bother much to other cars since it would be the same for most whom drift only japan or european based cars.

But on another, I figure, why not? Since espically Initial D was a reason for me to get into it on a searous level. I have a 200bhp Trueno AE86 in red and also a 290bhp dark blue S13. I also want to tune when I get the chance the 240 (AKA the 180) and maybe a GC8 or GDB Impreza. I'm a Skyline fan to a degree and have had some (okay close to no) success drifting a bone stock R32 GTR on sims (obviousy hard since the thing was meant for GRIP...I'd rant more on some rather off analysis done elsewhere abotu someone saying you could not drift a BNR 32 on the basis of it's torque... I though it was the ATTESA ET-S...), and If I get time, I may try a few european cars like the TVRs and Lotus cars (I had an Espirt with 480bhp that I was able to drift okay with...).

In short, on one end, it's all but 'usuall' on some standard to drift anything in realtion to the Silvias, RX-7s and our dear dear AE86's, or Hachi-Rokus.

With that in mind, it would seam common logic for anyone with preference for European and American muscle cars to be only intrested in drifting those and finding anything else unusuall.

But on another, I seldom find a car that's unusuall to even attempt a drift with save the Escudo (and yes I've actually had the crazy idea to try and drift the damn thing, getting close but no ciggar...) maybe and some other cars. The race cars to a degree but heck, since we can't do too much to visual mods (not that I would over do it or anything, hell, I'd probally not bother save for...) the race cars to an extent would be just what we would sorta want, like picturing a Camaro race car in a D1 ish event or something. It's me though.

I just drift what I find intrest in and try to bring some degree of variety when I can, I can't always go and change cars every 30 miles but I do try and see what I can try out. hell, I still have to mess around with that MR2 and also try and master some settings for a 22B Subaru. Not to mention that Acura NSX Type R (and yes, I also have the far crazy dream of sending a F40 Ferrari into a four wheel drift, problem is it's MR and less I'm a control freak a La Scumacher/Makkinen/Hakkien/Takumi/Keisuke/Burns/Fellows/etc I'm going to get aquainted with that steel barrier over there at 200kph/125mph.

Way for me to say a lot, I could have made this simple, hell, I've probally just rambled and missed what I was trying to say... let me just put into a short hand summary..

Few of the cars in GT3 are unusuall drifters as far as I see it save for maybe FF (then again there was Grand Drifto 2 and Brian somehow freaking did a DC2 drift like it was an Silvia for crying out loud...or at least looked like it...), and a few of the race cars (I'm going to get that Escudo to do what I want it to do someday, same for the Escort and Astra...) maybe, but otherwise I can't really find them unusuall. I'll just leave a hint to why probally...

Ridge Racer... namley Rage Racer, Type for and V, maybe another RR fan will figure why, hell I could just save time by saying why but, maybe you can figure it out.

So much for a summary... till later.
 
I play pendulum and dynamic entry with the Vitz (which does require counter steer, and no e-brake)

And I drift my MR-S around when I get bored, and I tried to setup a Celica GT-4 to drift.. but I'll be damned...
 
In gt2, I recently bought a fiat bambino 💡 upped it's power output from a wimpy 22 hp, to a heart stopping 100+, stuck some sims on it, it drifts like a maniac :sly:
 
R riders, if you're having trouble drifting the mr2 and want to drift an mr, try the mrs. I'm not even a fan of them but a 290+ hp turbo one is one of the easiest to control drifters in the game. And azuremen, could you or someone else explain to me what you're talking about? I don't know many drift terms. :dunce:

he's talking about using feint motion with the Vitz
abrubtly turning across the track, opposite to the direction of the oncoming corner, to shift wieght to the inside wheels, for the next turn
this works especially well in FF cars that are setup properly if it is done agressively and under some braking, as it will loosen up the back end tremendously

...at least, that was my take on it
 
Tank is correct. My dynamic entry is entering the corner very quickly, with a little braking with the turn in, which causes dramatic weight transfer and well... dynamic stuffs to happen. Its kinda something I picked up from real life, from racing on gravel with a Tercel... <_<
 
I'm not sure if anyone has drifted these but i'll just put them I haven't actually dirfted them but I tried. The Cobra(If anyone ever can but probably not it was a joke really cause I was bored), Corvette? (Haven't seen a movie with one of those in it I know someone has tried), And the RX-8 I tried its pretty okay to me.
 
I guess what makes some of my cars unusual is that I refuse to drift a car that isn't tuned to the highest HP rating. I take more pride in controling the throttle more and managing 1000 hp to make a good drift.

Some of my more unusual combos:

R34, over 1000 hp, running on Sims
ZZ-II, over 900 hp, running on Sims

The ZZ-II is the one I never hear about anyone else drifting but it's actually a fun car to run.

I've also done the Cobra (someone mentioned not konwing anyone that's drifted one), some of the road cars.....um, don't hear about many people drifting the MR-2 but it's one of my favs. I also don't see many people playing with the 22B but it's actually my favorite car to drift right now....so stable after tuning.

I'd probably have to pop open my garage to give a better list but that's the basics.
