well u can always get the evo n juss convert it 2 RWD, dont they sell something for AWD cars where you can distribute the torque to the rear or front axles to make it drive like a FWD or RWD car?

The EVO is no drifter either. I can get mine sideways but its hard

id say 240sx is the best, but i have seen an evo drift and it actually looked good, but his back tire caught the dirt and he ended up flipping his BRAND NEW car over about 3 times...lol sucks to b him

That wasnt real drifting that is how an evo races a track. and it was a girl driver and it was an older EVO. The EVO on a road course if driven right will drift slightly on every corner. real drifting is totally different from that video

Fo rizzle I think too many people have played nfsug2. Their is an entire style to skill to drifting not just pulling the ebrake and sliding... thats just pulling the ebrake and sliding. Drifting is a controled slide using the power of the car to cause a loss of traction. Drifting was intinally used as a cornoring skill in racing and develped into a sport on its own.

Also you can drift in a awd car, personally I love awd drifting opposed to rwd drifting. Awd cars tend to drift at a very extreme angel and still able to bring it back where a rwd car would tend to power over and spin out. I have a dvd collection of many awd drifts but I am not going to waste my time uploading them to my comp and then hosting them, if you want hit up video.google.com or putfile.com. If your lookling for a budget drift car look into a mustang or something of the sort. AWD cars need lots of hp to drift becuase its harder to get all 4 tires to lose traction then for just 2.
