Wich is the ultimate drifting car?

[Antgus87]

Im kind of new when comes to drifting. Have tried the seasonal drift events for the last to weeks and found a drift tune on GTP for my BMW M3 '04 that i really liked. I wonder if you have any other cars with good tunes that are easy to drift in??

Thanks

A stock SILEIGHTY, my favourite, I use it for Eiger Nordwand only, it's not powerful for a different track.

We are talking about the ultimate drift car not a beginner drift car

I suggest the '88 Supra 3.0

I saw somewhere that we really can't talk about the ultimate drift car. Besides that statement, he is looking for other cars to drift in, not Ultimate. Then it seems like another suggestions thread.

Such an old topic. Thread has been made several times and there is no single answer.

There is no answer. If you can drift well in a car, that's your ultimate drift car

is the carbon skyline any good?

Do you use driving aids or not?

I'm not sure if he does. But generally speaking, all driving aids should be off.

well find your self a Holden Monaro CV8....then just drift in it. doesnt need any modifications to it but still handles awesome

For me, no. Doesn't seem to balance nicely for me, always wants to rotate or flatten the drift.
Try it yourself though, it may lend itself to your personal style/setup.
Let us know how you got on.

Buick Special '62 its on the all the leaderboards

 

[brandon6i]

The Buick is just a cheap way of getting points. Its not a drift car. Besides, until PD implements an online Drift Trial mode outside of the seasonal events, you're better off going into online free-run lobbies or practice mode.

The physics are vastly different as well... so don't expect the same results in a lobby as what you're used to getting in Drift Trials.

The "best drift car" is not based on points awarded for drifting the racing lines at 45 degree angles. The best drift car is the car that you can control comfortably and consistently around multiple tracks of various turns and layouts at every speed in which your car is able to slide.

Class is dismissed.

I totally agree.

a: the Buick is very easy to control while going sideways
b: it doesn't require any tuning to do so
c: people in free run/ drifting lobbies seem to get bored of drifting very quick and start ramming people off the road using the tank car

Class is dismissed.

While the Buick Special is quite easy to drift and score well with, I ultimately find it unsatisfying to use it myself. This might be attributable to my own perception that it is overused by others.
There is no 'ultimate drift car' as has been said before. You will only ever find your personal 'best' by experimentation with different cars/setups.
Also, if like me, you are just getting into gt drifting, do not overlook the AWD/4WD class of cars, many can be tuned to be excellent drift machines, just let the inevitable sneers of derision go over your head while you enjoy!
The worlds' your whelk!

exactly

There isn't one. It boils down to personal preference. Me, I love my Lexus GS 300. )

 

[sleepy-z]

So far I found that the Datsun/Nissan 240ZG with all mods is the best car I have drifted in, the rx7(fd with 350hp) was easy but this thing was perfect, I didn't touch camber or toe or anything and I can do 3rd gear drifts all day.It tops out around 280hp-290hp which is enough to keep the throttle going but not too much to whip you. Give it a try, I promise you will be surprised, just my choice though.

 

[skubaben]

62 Buick Special No dout try it can do insane drift's with it

 

[limepie]

Obviously this is a matter of preference.

For me it's the FD rx7. 400hp. Comfort hards.

Balanced and controllable.

 

[Kishkuman]

As many have said there is not a #1 however I have recently purchased an S13 and it's at the top of my drifting fleet at the moment!

 

[notveryhappyjac]

390hp FC
or
645hp Alfa C8 competition on Race Hards

can't even handle that

We do have other threads like this if you would want to continue this there.
