IMHO, The best drift cars ive seen are s13 (180sx/silvia's or sileighty's *drool*)

and of course the good old skylines

hey draggo what big lesson did you learn? good to see you again man.

s13's are great for drifting. Utes are good too. Hell my cars not bad but there is too much weight.

P.S. Get an S13 you clown

Ok Slip I want to see Drift Spec R31 action, no seats, boot lining spare wheel etc, and stickers.

Can't really go past the 180's/S13/Sileighty/RPS13

And you pretty much can't drift a MR2 with any decent results, the mid mount engine throws it all out of whack.

[Guest veesixtyfour]

Throws it all out of wack? lol :lol:

The idea of a mid engine is keep the center of gravity... in the center of the car.. exactly opposite of what drifting is... :uh-huh:

MR2 = BAD news for a driftin' car, Awesome for handling though

[Guest MattY]

I used to own a 95 mr2, in fact i went to a track day at wakefield with a few sdu ppl.

Orite for handling, not so good for drift although it is oh so possible. Its just not very progressive and yes you need to be really really quick on the wheel. I was practicing some drift in a hugge ass car park, and everytime the thing bit me in the ass i slammed my hands agains the window sill or door n stuff....

I now have an s15 and its much easier to handle in all respects.

the only think i would recommend the mr2 for is the fact that theyre hell good to launch and they look sweet with the targa down : )

hope it helps.

squizz, i NEED to have a rear seat, i always have at least 3 passengers remember. i did take the spare/hydraulic jack out the last 2 times, but this time i will leave them in.

Well i reckon ure avatar sez it all the fc is a dam nice drift car.

Skylines are more cruzers than the flyweight S13s
