im new to drifting and want to know a good beginner car

[hackyzack]

It would be easier if you had a tune for it also
Thanks Hackyzack

Anything within 3-400hp, RWD. Some people might recommend more or less than that but I found that range to be ideal, not too much power, but enough to get around quickly. I started with the Nissan Fairlady Z34 (370z) from the dealership.

As for the tune, you need to find one here

GTP Tuning Section

AND in the future, use the search. I'm sure you'll find dozens of topics just like this. People aren't that friendly to people who don't help themselves

 

[hackyzack]

thank you! im using the 350z from the dealer right now and i love it!

going to try the BMW M3 next any suggestions?

 

[maveric25]

Yes I got a suggestion. Don't start switching cars if your new to drifting. Stick with one car for a while until you learn & get better. It's not a "couple of days" process, it's a couple of months the least to perfect your drifting.

Nissan Silvia S13 from the dealer. I used this car solidly when I learnt, now I even still use it

 

[afrigginperson]

S13 is ur best bet. easy to throw around and learn in.

 

[bigdog66711]

i learnt in rx7 and still use

 

[DDAAVVIIDD82]

Hard to beat an S13 for starting out, and the one in the NCD is cheap and easy to obtain.

 

[ANTthePANT79]

BMW Z4 is also a nice one to learn in, very stable...

sileighty and bmw 135i

The stock M3 is a nice drifter.

for a good starting car for drifting use a awd like evo or Subaru then when you feel like your good enough go onto rwd ( recommend power range 400hp to 600hp for beginners)

No and No.

You can drift any drivetrain, but to learn the fundamentals, go with rear wheel drive first. Recommending 400-600 HP is kinda insane, too. I'd take advice from the poster that said to stick with one car as a beginner. That's your best bet for learning.

Mind you I started with a FC3S, but I personally recommend the S13 as a starting car. It's very bare bone simple and easy to keep under control. Even somebody that has absolutely no clue what they're doing will find it easier to learn with a S13.

Once you get comfortable with that car, try some of the more popular drifting cars. Figure out how they handle and what makes them so popular. After you know how to drift your preferred car and all of the most popular cars used for drifting, just start drifting anything and everything. This is how you develop as a drifter (or at least that's how I did it).

What the 🤬!!

 

[eddyac]

Yeah choose Tsukuba, Fully tune the EVO X and put dirt tires on it works like a dream 👍

I started with the TVR Speed 12. I heard it was a beast and they were right. It taught me a lot, but I do the majority of drifting with an SL600 now. I love the AE86, Supra, Silvia, and G37 as well.

 

[mattoews]

use the 350z or the 95/2010 impreza. ill show u how to tune is perfectly. ADD (DUKEKA)

 

[SupraTT1]

Dodge Viper GTS comfort hard tires 660HP 690torque, perfect for drifting

The.... Impreza.... really....

 

[jjjkr20]

This is how I find my drift cars. If I have wheel spin exiting a turn then I'll try comfort tiers it usually works, but a specific car would be 350z or if you have the money a fully tuned G37 that's what I started with and won't ever stop using it.

No No No you do this 👍 when you want to touge but as for drifting if you would like to be respected first you will need to use comfort hard tires only. The viper isnt a bad idea tho but there is no need to run it with 660 to 690hp tune it fully but go tune the engine and drop it down to around 400 to 450hp. then take the Lsd and tune it 5 5 15 then you want to tune the suspenion of the car Drop the hight of the car all the way down and leave the dampers alone for now & put the anti roll bar at 5 & 5. as for camber you should 0.00 on the front and 0.00 on the rear but put the toe in the rear All the way negative and the front all the way positive. Ok I've given you a basic tune now go get em and stay sideways friend

 

[shmogt]

Choose a tune. I have so many. Also if you hit guides a the top I have a drift tips section that explains the basics as well as list a couple tunes for what level you are at.

 

[TakumiFuji01]

I would start off with the NA6C Euno Roadster, I would do some suspension, LSD tuning and I give a little bit of power and use some Comfort Soft or Mediums.

I don't know if the person who just started the game can get that, other then getting gift from a friend.

Shmo has some awesome tunes for all types of cars, he's been my car tuner for quite a while now lol

Well here's your sign just try the toe and forget the camber.
