Hi!

There are seven cars most commonly used for drifting.

The first is the AE86 Levin/Trueno (referred to as a Hachi-Roku), because of it's rear wheel drive lay-out and the fact that it's relatively inexpensive it is probably the most common drifting car.

The second and third are the Silvia S13 and S14, which come in two different models: the turbocharged K's and the non-turbo Q's. Because of their high horse power and free-revving enginges they are excellent drifting cars.

The third is the 180SX, related mechanically to the Silvia, the only difference is in the body style and the fact that is lighter and has a better front/rear balance ratio. The fifth is the FC3S RX-7. I believe that this would be a more popular pick among drifters if it was not as problematic as it is.

The Cefiro is another excellent drifting car. It has a powerful RB20DET engine and good handling characteristics. The last is the Laurel which is also powered by the RB20DET. .

Another good drifting car is the Skyline GTS-T which you don't see very often. It has a rear wheel drive layout and boasts a 260hp engine. A car you also don't see very often, but is the epitome of a drifting car, is the Sil-Eighty. It is a hybrid of a Silvia and a 180SX, either with a Silvia S13 front end and a 180SX back or the opposite. Because of their rising popularity Nissan started manufacturing the Sil-Eighty last year.

I think 1 is the skyline, but i have a bud who uses a miata

ford escort cosworth 2L turbo can be tuned with a bigger turbo the most i have seen is 872 bhp its all wheel drive drifts, 1/4 mile everything

I drift and if you havent ever drifted and you wont to learn and your budget is short a good car to start is a 1st gen corolla and if you decide drifting isnt for you you can still have a good car for everyday driveing

in my opinion you shouldnt get a good car to practice drifting in. Get a car that is cheap but that good horsepower and backwheel drive( its a must). trying a car that pretty much you dont car what happeneds to it if you wreck or crash into somthing with it. And then try drifting it in an empty big parking lot .
