Best Car To Start Drifting With.

[BlindsideTora]

I could imagine haha!

Haha yea I've always wanted to see someone jump in and just pop a tire when they land.

I just made the switch from ds3 to g27 not too long ago and I found the c5 corvette bog stock with oil change and ch taught me heaps about weight shifting and front end bite

 

[djinline]

Nismo Fairlady Z S-tune (Z33)* and Nismo Fairlady Z Z-tune (Z33) are well balanced and quite easy to drift in stock condition, just change the tires to CH.

*May need a close-ratio transmission to keep it in the power band.

I might also recommend ABS off (all aids off for that matter) for those new to drifting. Yes I know it sounds scary, but you will learn so much more about the basics of car control when there aren't a bunch of computer aids affecting the handling physics. Of course this means you'll want to adjust your brake balance, but other than that I leave my drift cars pretty much stock. Sometimes a semi-racing exhaust and a clutch and flywheel upgrade. Later you can start messing with the LSD but in a lot of the above recommended cars it isn't necessary. When in doubt the simpler the better. You can learn a lot all aids off and comfort hards.

Some of my favorites:

S13
V12 Vantage
Viper SRT10 Coupe supercharged
BTR (a little more advanced, trickier to master but a lot of fun)
C63 AMG

yeah, i could drift amazingly with DS3 but g27 noot so much

It was a pain for me on g27 so Moved down too a dfgt because the g27 is just so smooth and it feels like there's no ffb but with dfgt It feels better for me at least.

Hey guys, I need a car that will help me start drifting and learn the basics. and if there is a tutorial which can teach me how to drift and all please post the link to it and also the tune for a car for drifting. thanks.

 

[Aquarelle]

Perhaps?

I recommend this S13 as a starter.

Also, please do make use of the search function of this site, we see this thread at least twice a week and it does get old there is a plethora of existing knowledge, advice and opinions at your disposal.

well my first car was an RX7 (make sure to use a car that has a drivetrain that has FR) it was a perfect car to start with for me

I used a fully tuned Renault Clio (V6). Though, that was when I used my controller, as I have yet to learn it, using a wheel.

I've read stock cars are a good start for people with a wheel.

Cool choice in the Clio. I love that car. It is actually a surprisingly great drift car

My first car was the ae86 shuichi shigeno version, It was the first car I ever purchased and still have it, its just right and your gonna have a hard time to fail with it cause of the low HP, so understeering and oversteering is almost impossible. Just need a right tunning

 

[Serum]

I'll third the clio. I used it 90% of the time in prologue because of how consistent I drove with it.

 

[Matrihx]

Do you guys know any cars that I should try to drift, i mean like any car from UCD, or Dealership. I just want to try new drift cars. Thanks, sorry if this is a bad place to post...

 

[Kitten]

Try a S14 .

 

[Nismo34]

Search button works just as well. Im also certain we do not need a new "What car is good to start drifting" thread every time someone decides to start drifting.

And that one was just on the first page. I am 100% certain there are others with more helpful answers out there...

 

[roel_grizz]

an Hachiroku is good for drifting (ae86) OR FT-86 best in tandem and also i add HONDA NSX-r 01 or 02 so much power in sliding:tup:👍👍👍

 

[eddyac]

Stock Miata.

 

[Kitten]

Stock Miata.

This works as well, Little monster.

Thanks, sorry if this is a bad place to post...

It's exactly the right place to post, which is why there is a thread here asking exactly the same question that you should have read through before posting.

Don't just blindly click the new thread button without searching and looking and reading first.

I drift with a fully tuned skyline with tc off and abs off and braking on 3 - 9

You can't seriously be suggesting that as a first drift car.

I think he is.

This is why I avoid online lobbies... dear me.

No im not i didnt start out with it i started with a 200bhp car

Then can you do me a favour?

Go ahead and look at the top of the page; there you'll find the title of this thread.

Do you see why what you just said is inappropriate?

Frankly I don't think the car you've suggested is a good drift car, period. But if that's what you want to drift so be it.
However it's an absurd thing to suggest someone drive as a first drift car.

Reading the title of the thread isn't much to ask.

Which Mazda? the Miata has been recommended a fair few times and it's a really nicely balanced car, great to sink your teeth into for the first time

No the MAZDA RX-7 FC i found it was a very nice and easy car to start with.

It certainly is 👍 the FC has great potential.

Agreed. I am really liking mine I have been working on. I just love how it sounds like butt too.
