EASY drifting cars?

[counter345]

Okay, deal is, just got a new wheel, tried drifting a stock NSX, failed miserably.

Anyone would like to suggest an easy-to-drift car?

 

[liQster]

drifting with a wheel isn´t easy, no matter what car you choose. the nsx is a quite good one imho, but i´m not a really good drifter (trying to be and it´s fun, though). the s2000 is good too. or any other car which has rear drive. you have to practice practice practice to get good at drifting in gt5.

*edit*

make sure to turn of all aids, except for abs mby. otherwise you won´t have proper control of the car while drifting

BP Falken RX-7(stock) or Nissian Silvia S15(sports tune w/ custom suspention) or Nissian fairlady(350z)(sports tune w/ custom suspention)

i drift on comfort hards & ABS 1, all assist off

Try the classic 180SX or the Sil-80.

Any of the Nissan "Z"s will work. But to be honest with you any RWD vehicle can drift.

Drifting with AWD is like training wheels. Practice on an R8 or GT-R and then graduate yourself to a Spoon S2000 or something. 👍

If you've got some cash...

Nissan Silvia RM

 

[iHealy]

Any RUF Car ... the yellowbird is my baby 👍

From what I understand, you should be able to drift any RWD car. You probably shouldn't start with something that has too much power. Around 300 hp is the magic number. Just pick any car that has good weight distribution. The Nissan Z's are very good, as well as the Silvia to stat with. You don't really have to do much tuning to get started, just add a little power. Just pick a car and stick with it. Keep practicing. Once you get a hang of it, you should be able to drift any other car much more easily.

Chevrolet Camaro SS '10. I found this car easy to drift with but it is all about how you drive, or in this case drift, the car.

 

[zodicus]

agree with any of the Z's especially the new 370, and the blitz is awsome stock.

 

[VeyronR8]

I've used the Camaro and its good. A fully tuned Silvia RM is a great car but not easy to handle.

 

[audirs]

Any American sedan. Their dusgusting amounts of understeer makes them good for power sliding.

 

[Shmorgusborg]

RUF Yellowbird.

 

[Villain]

RUF Yellowbird.

I agree, with the only exception to note that it is just about impossible to straighten out and the tires will disappear extra quickly. The RUF Yellowbird is one of my go-to drift cars.

The 420 Scuda is pretty good fun for a drift. It has plenty of power and with a little tuning here and there it should come loose on the corners!

Ferrari California!

dont know about you guys but i preffer a car with a smooth tourqe curve...with the exception for a few cars!

BMW Z4 '08.
Not that wild. It will teach you the basics

 

[StarLight]

I started with a Nissan Silvia S13, nice car to drive and not expensive.

But a Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Ford Escort Cosworth or Tesla Roadster will be a good choice too.

Jensen Interceptor (680HP) - Suzuka east

(Its lika an old muscle car but fully balanced and controllable)

Actually the NSX Is a Rear engine car if I'm not mistaken so it's a bit different in terms of Technique. You are going to have to be careful on the throttle as rear engine cars spin out easier due to heavier weight over the rear axel.

The NSX has a MR layout with the motor in the middle of the car, and about mid/rear engined cars and having to be careful because they spin, I find that to be untrue. With having more weight over the rear wheels you have more grip which generates more speed and stability. I haven't drifted the NSX on the wheel but that car is one of if not THE most stable car I've driven on DS3(Honda version).

In regard to the topic question, if you mean easy as in cars that don't need a lot of throttle/steering inputs, then these are a few I have found to be easy to drift for me:

TVR Speed 6, Aston Martin DB9, Toyota Supra RZ, RX7 FC, Silvia S13, RX7 Spirit R/FD, Alfa Romeo 8C, Suzuki Cappuccino, Toyota AE86 Levin and many, many more.

If you need help with a tune or anything, PM me, I'd be glad to contribute.

Stock Miata on CH

i like the 350Z. very stable drifts
my favorite is RUF YELLOWBIRD. its a wild ride, but puts up the biggest scores. 👍

^^ Gottta agree with that, good car. Hoowever my fave gotta be the Camaro IROC-Z concept 88, nice and tame, drifts out of the box

The only way you can get good with a wheel is to start with an extremely underpowered car and work your way up. They do that in real life and GT5 is no exception either.

Start with a Cappuccino, a Miata or an AE86
Once You've got the hang of it, work your way up the ladder to the S-chassis, like an S13.
Once you are moderately good with that, you can go higher by raising the power of the specific Silvia you are using or you can upgrade to something like an RX-7, a 350z, a Supra, or an NSX like you originally wanted.

If I were you, I'd only buy the essentials for drifting: suspension, LSD, tires. If you feel that your car needs more power, just add some little things like an exhaust or an intake.

Do that for about a month and you got drifting down!
yay.

Remember, just because a car is easy for drifting, doesn't mean it's going to be easy for you when using the wheel. It's not something you can just pick up, it requires practicing. So start small and work your way up.
