As far as tourqe, or low end power, is concerned then yes, a brawly v-8 would be perfect for a drifter, especially in the states. But you have to take into account that most drifting is done in the higher rpms and even with the awesome power of v-8 muscle cars the sheer weight is enough to detur most drifters. I own a 85 IROC-Z28 and I don't think I'll be taking it sideways when I get back to the states. I'll just stick to drifting my GTS-t. Allllthooouuugh, I do have to admit that I would like to take a 68 Charger sideways. Heh, just to piss my friend who owns a 70 Charger, off.
