well have u tried drifting high powered cars before?, most muscle cars will like to pill out the whole way through so feathering the gas is a must or u will just dump it into a barrier, also u will really want to stiffin up the suspension and get a 5 or 6 speed in it but if ur usin modern muscle then just lighten them up and slap on a Close Ratio trans and that should do it, also u really wont have to do any upgrades to the power cause those V8s are all really tourqed out.well works for me that way with my Charger and Corvette.
 
Ok now im not going to rag on you and say this is a pointless thread (it is by the way) but if you take a look in the Drift Setting thead you will find many setups for all sorts of GT4 cars. Now i havnt looked for Muscle/Pony/whatever american cars so im not aware of how many there are. Essentially though all drifting is the same. It doesnt matter if its a MX5 or a Merc E55 AMG the only differences are the weight and the way the cars put there power down due to engine characteristics. im sorry to say but there is no wonder setting or anything to suddenly make a certain car drift. My advice, i been here and drifting for quite some time now so it might help to pay attention, is to just find a car you like which is relatively well balenced, FR and with not to much power (about 300bhp is fine). Learn to drift that and you will learn how the cars react, how you need to react to the car to keep it drifting etc.

Once you can drift pretty well, apologies if you already can, then you take what you have already learnt and then apply it to other cars. You will just have to adjust countersteering etc to compensate for differences in weight. Also throttle inputs will change but these are minor things as long you have the basics of drifting.

Spec.....
