Can a Mazda Rx8 drift well?

Question

How much does a Mazda Rx8 cost and can it drift well

Answer 1

Yes, an RX-8 is very tail happy and is easily controllable at the limit. Keeping the engine spinning in the upper rev range you can hold a drift all day long while easily controlling it with the excellent steering feed back.

Perhaps it would need a little more power for competition drifting (as would most stock cars) and need the drive-train beefed up quite a bit to survive the abuse.

Answer 2

If you are into drift you should go do a little searching and find yourself a 240sx. You should be able to buy a 89-94 for less than $4000 or a 95-98 for about $7000. Mod it up should only run about $7000 TOPS. Then you can use the other $10000 you planned on spending on the rx-8 to get you daily driver.

Answer 3

well 1st of all young lady, drifting is not a easy thing to do. its dangerous to do if you dont know anything about it. a good car for you to start off with would a nissan 240sx then you can work ur way up to a car with more horsepower, or u can get your nissan 240sx and get a engine swap or go turbo. a rx8 is a good car to drift with but the problem is it has a rotary engine, a rotary engine is expensive to fix and maintain, plus the rx8 gets horrible gas mileage, if you really want a mazda get a older model rx7 list of cars - toyota tureno, nissan 180sx, nissan 240sx, toyota mr2, mazda rx7, rx8 thas just some cars.

Answer 4

they MSRP around 26,500 but you can get them for 21 to 22 easily because they sell poorly and dealers are eager to offload them

yes, they drift well. excellent balance and RWD.

Answer 5

anything rear wheel drive can drift... it all about the driver and his/her capabilities
