I'm shocked no one has brought up most of the older Porsches. Drive one and you'll know what I'm referring to.

For Japanese imports, I'm surprised there aren't more NSX's that do the drifting events. Didn't Dori King retire driving the Arta NSX?

For the price of an NSX, even used, you could build yourself a retarted S13 or RX-7 or Corolla. A lot of the Formula D cars have been built well under the $20k mark (not the Viper and GTO but those are different). A used NSX will still go for $30k if you're lucky, and that's before any modifications.

hurm........

I think I can drift this.



Who's that big guy in the blue???

I guess everything cost more out east mranlet.
The NSX was purchased for 21 and it's a 91'.

well the title of the thread was "ultimate drift car" not with the limit of cost. yeah I'm well aware NSX's cost a bundle, but that shouldn't eliminate them from consideration of being a very capable drift car.

NSX is a mid-rear layout and thus has a lower polar moment than the front-rear cars already mentioned. This leads to less predictability and less tossability without complete loss of control. If you watch NSX drifting videos, the driver is often speed drifting (i.e. using smaller angles) because you simply can't hold massive angles easily in an NSX.
