Top 10 Drifting Cars.

[SilviaEvo]

you all are ignorant the best drift car is the GTO! and the Viper is pretty damn good aswell.

haha I really hate the American Cars in the D1 but i guess it is just starting in America. BTW the Mopar Cars (Viper SRT4) their paintjobs are really annoying

well considering on it's first showing the GTO was in the top 10 shows it is one hell of a car and IMO is way nicer than a Silvia or an 80's Toyota with APC stickers and neons all over them. I do like the apex(I think) RX-7 though that is a nice car.

The GTO is like the only car there that is still produced besides the Viper which is way too expensive. and maybe the 350's but still most are unatainable cars for the US atleast and some people dress these things up way too much since half the time they hit the frickin wall's or another car.

Also why do you hate the American companies competing in these events are you afraid they may just be better and take over the podiums?

Ferrari 355

you drift Ferrari 355s?

Porsche 911 Carrera RS (1991)

and Carerra RS's? how? track cars (such as the F50) would have to be greatly modified...thats crazy.

Clearly a Nissan fan?

The 180SX and a "Sil-80" are both S13s. The 180SX is an S13 hatchback (versus the Silvia, which is a coupe) and the Sil-80 is a 180SX with a Silvia nose, but both are an S13 chassis.

That's a bit of fluff...Initial D and TRD Group A stuff. What's more realistic is a motor swap into a late model 20V Corolla motor that will spin to 8-9k, but that 11k stuff is race stuff that is not that useful for drift or street because all the power is up at 10-11k with no mid or low end.

My PERSONAL Top 10, by car model (instead of just chassis code) would be:

180SX
Silvia (S13)
Corolla GT-S (AE86)
Silvia (S14)
Soarer
Supra TT
Skyline GT
Chaser
RX7 (FD3)
Viper (competition coupe)

Millen has been having problems sorting the GTO out...I think once it's sorted, it'll perform better and we'll have a better idea of how good it CAN be. The Viper is clearly doing well, with Sam placing very well this season.

I haven't seen the M3 in enough action to know how it is in connecting corners, etc. Clearly, it can drift, and it appears stable enough, but I'm not sure whether it'll handle connecting corners since I haven't seen it in any competitions.

What makes a good drift car is stability in mid drift and the ability to pitch the car. Cars like the Diablo, etc. mentioned above, while it certainly has the power to weight ratio, doesn't appear to be able to hold drifts and certainly doesn't look capable of connecting corners with ease. Then again, it might just be the cost that keeps people from tuning it for drift...but in the end...why would you want to. Just be a pimp and get a Corolla or Silvia for drift. Wreck it? Get another.

I think my best friend's uncle has that 20v motor. My friend wants to buy it but his uncle doesn't want to sell. I don't see why though because he doesn't even have a hachi.
