Car Drifting With Stock Cars?

Question

Can you buy any stock cars that can drift?

Answer 1

Anything with RWD can be made to drift. The Nissan 240SX is sort of the classic drift car, because they're well balanced and not too expensive, but you can drift anything that powers off the rear tires. You may need to tweak the suspension a bit, especially for cars with less power. Start by playing with the tire pressures, because it's cheap. I'd recommend way OVERinflating the rears -- that reduces your overall grip at the rear but makes the breakaway much more stable. (It's what I used to do in a FWD car that I autocrossed 15 years ago -- I could *almost* get a drift going in a VW GTI after setting up the shocks and tire pressures. Let's just say that when I used to overcook a corner and spin it on course, the back end would come around first...)

These days the only drifting I do is on gravel. :-)
