    Hey guys,

    Like the title says I want to hear from you all on what car/truck/whatever you want to see made into a drift car? I am in the states, so something I can get here would be the best.

    We are finishing up our drag project and wanting to build something to drift with. We are looking for something that wont be stupid $$$$$ since we all chip in to build it together, so probably the older and cheaper the better.

    I see so many 240sx's out there and I want to try something different!

    What do you guys think would make a good drift car, but isnt usually seen out there skidding around?


    A couple of ideas we have had... Feel free to post your own though..

    1. Nissan hardbody 94ish year truck...
    2. Ford Mustang 79-04 years most likely a 99,01,03-04 Cobra.
    3. 2nd or Third Gen Camaro
    4. Miata - I know its common these days...
    5. 03 330i ZHP - own one thats why...
    6. Ford Lightning - yeah the supercharged F150 truck
    7. 91 corvette
    8. 1980 RX7
    9. ???????? You tell me!!

    I have seriously contemplated doing a 944...

    Anything I can get in the US please guys... And preferably RWD! If I was going to swap drivetrain from FWD to RWD I would make a mid engine CRX lol...

    hahaha roll over much? That would be pretty awesome though...

    hmmm thats not a bad idea.

    I am definitely debating this... 944s are common and cheap, but getting parts for it, and drifting it might not be easy though... I wonder what kind of engine I can stuff in there...
