High powered cars for drifting?

I've notice that a lot of people in most drift rooms use cars like Vipers, Lambos, Ferraris, F1s, Redbulls, and all that apply in that catagory. Its not a rant but why do people use high horsepower cars instead of the tradition ones? Maybe people prefer speed over angle and precision?
 
You must be joining **** rooms. The cars that you mentioned above are mostly used by newbies that think they are drifting... most of people on here use traditional FR cars. try and join private lobbies, its very hard to find a good. public lobby. 👍
 
Are you serious... lambos, F1, Red Bulls, don't join those rooms, let them fail at what they think is drifting. Join serious lobbies, hosted by teams. Stick to RWD cars, also not all Vipers are bad, I've won many drift comps in my Viper GTS '02 & it only has 630hp, it's fast, I can hit the line I want with it & I can get massive angle as shown in the backwards entry in the pictures below.

I will, and seriously I WILL, pay to see ANYBODY drift a Redbull X2010/2011 in GT5.
 
Its not like im trying to join a room with the high ends cars but usually it goes, join a room (usually medium size) everyone has the same low end cars, then the room fills up, one switches to a F1 and "tries" to drift, then more people want to try it, then next thing you know everyone drifting with some high HP car and the room no longer becomes a drifting room but rather a collision course. :confused:

I don't know what drift rooms you've been in pal.

I prefer to be in rooms with people who actually follow drifting as a sport and can actually drift well & know how to tandem, instead of those kids that have seen tokyo drift a couple times and think they're a "pr0 drift3r", and put no restrictions on their "drift" rooms.

If you drift with anybody from the team forum, you'll get a taste of what drifting in GT5 is really like 👍
 
Love my veyron, those RWD N00bs need to watch Ken Block He is the King!

Say that to my BMW Concept 1 Series tii's tail lights as she leaves you at the line to inhale her tire smoke. Drifting or racing, this car got the perfect balance for both.
It's a shame you can't tell I was joking :)

I've got a good tune on one of those tii's, it's quick which is good for comps, but I prefer my Z33/FC/CSL/JZX etc. 👍
 
Yeah but using the word "but" before that statement sort of implies that its the opposite of what the 1 Series is and that is fast :)
 
I think it's actually quite quick on the touge, when I saw him battle with CoLateRaLZ. However, I have no experience on how quick drifter it is.

The CSL is questionably the quickest BMW for drifting in the game, it's either the CSL or the Premium M5
