The Stratos rally car is a brilliant drifting machine. Every dab of power and she's sideways. Makes a load of smoke but absolutely rips through tires when online. I managed 3 laps of Nurburgring GP before the backs were gone
 
Pdi racing kart!
That thing will go sideways no problem,,,,,,,,, then stop
 
For fun I like to use MR's the Dome Zero is fun to use along with the MR2. Didn't like the Stratos much but I guess it could be because I was using the road version.
 
Id go with da ae86 treuno or levin

Its a little monster
 
Alot of people use the C63 :)

Close to release alot of videos were floating around of people drifting it on Cape Ring :)

Really? :dunce: I rarely see people with that car in drifting lobbies.
 
70' superbird, no lie drifts effortlessly, very easy to control probabally due to its length,
 
Peugeot 205 Evo Rally Car: Easy to control

Renault Maxi Turbo Rally Car: If you like the yellowbird this car is for you.

Is neatly sliding around the turns of a race track drifting? Or is drifting strictly traveling the length of the straight sideways?
 
I guess the car I just got for drifting is pretty underrated even though it drifts like a dream stock. This car is of course the McLaren MP4-12C.
 
The title is 'Underrated Drift Cars', not 'overrated' =P

VW Samba Bus! :) Highly frowned upon due to the Top Gear challenge, so I'd say it's underrated. The VW does drift very easily though!

o shizz i just won dat race!!

first time i tried dat i got pissed
 
The Peugeot 908 HDi FAP :sly:. LOL very easy to get sideways, and suprisingly easy to hold it. I was driving around a custom toscana track one day and the tail started getting sideways so I drifted for 10 minutes or so. Has a nice "Speed Racer" feel to it.

2 Wheel Drift!! :)
 
Volvo 240, hands down. That thing is a real beast :)
 
Buick GNX does well with weight reduction and some extra power.
 
a raised euronus with a stupid spoiler and a carbon hood with gold rims been kicked twice due to that fact that i creates to much smoke and drifts at about 15mph on all corners except for the last sweeping bend as it runs out of steam half way round and ends up in the pits or a 390bhp civic
 
nissan 300zx (from the dealership)

not sure why people don't use it. I think it's mostly because it's either ugly or heavy...i happen to think it's a sexy machine and it drifts amazing at around 450hp ;)

if you are one of the people who thinks it's ugly, throw some gun metal gray paint on it and some hot pink rims and your mind will change :D

That car looks, and drifts like a charm. My parents have a 96. When I get the licence, that car is mine. But in GT5, I use the S13, 300ZX, and the Concept-1 BMW. (Rare drift car.) All three are wonderful machines. I'm learning the Honda S2000. The one thats slightly tuned.
 
I've recently discovered the Merc SL55 to be pretty good through the corners. Needs a bit of camber in the rear to keep it from sliding out, but it's plenty quick.

cant u buy the bmw from the dealership? or are u saying rarely ppl drift wit it?
 
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA 1600 '65

It is very lightweight and fun to flick around the bends with a proper setup.
 
599 is my favorite right now
 
Fiat 500 by far.
 
An Acura Integrea Type-R?


Ah the good ol' days of GT2

It is.

Nonetheless I think that the Acura NSX RM is a drifting car no one uses, I suppose it's because it has no lower end torque.
 
The Stratos rally car is a brilliant drifting machine.
I'll go one better, and say the non-rally Stratos. :) COMPLETELY stock, you can get it sideways around Tsukuba.
 
My favorite drifter is no doubt the 300ZX, but I manage to drift a Honda Odyssey minivan. Sure it isn't that great a drifter, but when I turned off driving aids, I was surprised to slide it stock around 95% of a turn

That people don't drift it. Its a very facinating car.
 
Lotus Elan, fully tuned it is a beast, with the incredible light weight it performs like a 350 BHP car.
