I really want a beetle, that nearly scraps the ground, and that has a little poke
And what in hell, would that car be handling like sideways? Missing the point of the thread on most cars imo.
How is it missing the point of the thread? He asked for a chassis that would have a wider track, and I suggested one. Does anywhere in this thread state it has to be a drift car? No, chassis swaps that give good fitment not handling.
Edit: List re-arranged again for easier use
GonalesOne tiny problem. Drifting forum? This started out as a thread for Drift cars with stance, didn't it?

shame the tyres can't be widened...

One could argue personal drift style matters more than the specifications of the vehicle itself; who's to say a wider, flush stance doesn't lend itself to a person's particular drift style like long wheelbases cater to mine?

The look of the car is heavy into the drifting culture.
function vs form is always an opinion... some prefer different. No one has ever said that it's supposed to be function before form.Well, I lower my cars too. But I use chassis, drivetrain and engine swaps to make the car feel better. So, basically my opinion would be: Function over form. Which makes sense, doesn't it?
And I don't believe changing to an M3 GTR RM chassis, for example, is a good way of improving car handling. So, apart from an aesthetics point of view... That change would be useless for drifting.
Riiiight. That's why the basics of drifting come from Matsuri events, and cheap Touge-events in Japan... As I said, function over form.
At Ant: Apparently people seem to appreciate stance most, in this sub-forum. (compared to others.) hence I will (probably exactly for the same reason the mods did), ignore the thread so far.
Ant, you can add the C6 Z06 to the list for the R34. It fits great.
GonalesSo, basically my opinion would be: Function over form. Which makes sense, doesn't it?
Therein lies the eternal struggle inherent to The Great Oxymoron that is drifting; for every optimal setup, balanced chassis, and functional upgrades, there are wild color combos, crazy wheel offsets, and reverse entries...the logical side of me puts function over form, but then the cool side of me reminds me the logical side is aware that in this age of high displacement engines, modern tires, and advanced traction control, that vehicles have no business exaggerating an oversteer condition to get around corners..
So I like to think drifting is one of those few venues where form and function skip happily side by side..
