It could be fun drifting a sled like the Z28.. then again, that is kinda like driving a pink CRX to our meets.

A S13 would be a great learner car for someone on a budget. The S14 has much better weight distribution (and style) than the S13, but the price might discourage the novice from purchasing it since you WILL **** **** up.

$0.02

no one has mentioned Zack yet? He does well in his Camaro.

 

holy fuck.....his was tearin that shit up with that camaro.....i was not expecting that at all

 

It isnt all horsepower. Reason people dont usually drift supras. Its vehicle weight, balance, I mean there is A LOT more than horsepower. Vaughn Gitton Used to race a 69' Comaro (i think it was 69). Now drifts a Mustang. You can either be a drifter, or a guy who drifts a Z28. S-chassis has GREAT drift platform, thats why most Pro's use them. S-chassis, Z, and AE...MOST drifters.

 

Which is the reason why a "under-powered" AE86 can out drift a "powerful" R32/33/34.

The entire point of drifting is to control a vehicle that is out of control. Weight, suspension, tires (ie. traction), brakes, and throttle control make a good drifter. Adding more power just means the vehicle will be able to maintain a drift at higher speeds.

Don't get it twisted now, a drift is a drift. Some just look better and react faster than others.

Personal point: I'd take a side-draft carb'ed, or Turbo & Supercharged, AE86 over a Chevy/Dodge/Ford to drift at the track any day of the given week.

the z28 your dd ??

 

DRIVER MODS>CAR MODS,

 

If you want to know about drifting a Camaro go to www.ls1.com there are a few threads on there to educate yourself with. It's hard to ask these questions on a non specific platform forum like this. You'll have hateraide on both side.

I'm a camaro owner and I'll be the first to tell you that although they "can" drift, they aren't the best for it.

 

Amen

 

s13 all day
