For begginers, the shelby cobra 427 otherwise a RWD R34 Skyline or an S15 Silvia

Most A-Class-and-above all-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive cars work fine, although there is the obvious Toyota Corolla GT-Apex and S15 Silvia. I usually use the Lexus LF-A.

Whatever you want your drift car to be. Mine is the Hemi Cuda' and I love it. Drifting is just a matter of tuning and your skills applied to the car your drifting. There is no best drift car, only popular and unpopular cars. Most people use the AE86, S13, S14, S15, 350z, 370z, Skylines, ect.

I say r33 it gets pretty loose with driver aids off which can make it even better with them off

The nissan 240 sx with a gtr engine, and completely upgraded is amazing. But it has a ton of torque so controlling it is not easy with assists off.

Recomended for drifting is any car FR. Front engine,rear wheel drive. Any fwd vehicle will not work. Pulling the side brake the entire track is not considered drifting. Awd is recommended for beggenners because of better control. True drifters in real life and on forza use rwd only. A beggenner car wld be s13. The coupe or hatch that is now available. Upgrade all of the engine components. Do not motor swap a r30 anything in a s13. Be wayyyy to much power for you as a amatuer. Next I wld go to car that has great amount of power stock, such as a viper,corvette. Then when you learn how to drift any car, go for a mazda rx7. The fc or fd wld be choice of a pro.

I use the old mustang svt cobra (I think), if tuned properly, it has more torque than horsepower and that makes this car crazy loose, this is the first racing simulator game I have ever played and I'm already top 3% in the drift category

I use my evo 8 tuned to 594hp, it does the job for me! I love to drift on Fujimi Kaido track D. Drifting like stated before can be done with your favorite car. YOU just gotta be a BOSS and own your own car. Tune it or don't.

Sounds odd, but my best drift car would be the Mitsubishi Starion you can get near the game's start. Make sure your Mitsubishi affinity level's 100%; things get expensive! First, you'll want to install a different engine; go for the less powerful Eclipse engine, or it becomes too unmanageable. Then just max it out, find what tune works, and enjoy!
N.B. Installing 4WD/Forza adjustable wings, etc. Makes it more manageable, but I generally use RWD for drifts, and 4WD for gymkhana. And if you don't know what that is, Youtube 'ken block' gymkhana mega commercial. Have fun!

I use the TVR Tuscan with the stock speed 6 engine and 5 speed (stock) gear box with all handling upgrades and fully upgraded exhaust and air intake. A slip diff of Accel 90 and Decel 35. But that's my taste most people find it too twitchy.

I drive an A-Class 600 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe. Manual transmission, Traction Control off, and I prefer to use a racing wheel (Microsoft). One of the best cars you can use.

Right, don't listen to all that nonsense about Nissan silvia this and tuning that... It's PLAIN AND SIMPLE get a 2002 Nissan GT-R V Spec II and go to upgrade, quick upgrade and select R2 then your pretty much ready to go, I am a novice at drifting, it makes me feel sad when I watch pros drift knowing I will never be able to do that but when I got this car and upgraded it, drifting was like riding a bike... EASY :D now I can do slow and fast drifts and HUGE power slides, HAVE FUN DRIFTING!!! :D

Here's a few tips:
1. The car is irrelevant, I got beat by a Ferrari enzo last night round hockenheim.
2. Don't buy tuning set ups as they are what someone else uses to drift with and probably is not suited to your style.
3. Power should be in the 500 to 800 bhp range and torque should be around 600 lb/ft to start with. After you get used to that, play around with more/ less power and torque until you're happy.
4. Never practise in online lobbys. Not worth the hassle. Use leaderboards to compare yourself instead.
5. Everyone has a favourite track where they learned how to drift. Mine was maple valley and I still test new cars out there. Turn one is very good for a shakedown and I generally know by the end of turn three weather I need to make any changes to my set up.
6. Drifting with some music helps. Choose a playlist - doesn't really matter what you listen to. But something fast usually helps me.
7. Have fun while doing it. The amount of people I see actually getting stressed out because their set up isn't quite right or they're not winning so they ram people off the track.
Hope this helps anyone struggling out there on drifting. Anyone has any questions, message or add me on xbl. Spyke10100.

I use E60 M5, R35 rwd, and the Jaguar XKRS. And if your can can use it convert to a twin-screw blower or twin turbos. You don't want a single turbo because of lag. And most inportantly try not to go over 650hp.

Personnally you should get a japanese car thats Real wheel drive. I use the nissan silvia s15, it drifts like a charm. I won't recommend drifting with the dodge and r34.

I use a dodge rampage, with around 900hp I believe, and no driving aids. RWD too. Doesn't need much tuning, but it's the best drifting car I've used so far. Not necessarily the best choice for beginners though, as it's hard to control.
My advice to beginners would be get a Nissan skyline, add power, make sure it's RWD, and turn off traction control. Maybe kepp stability control to start with though, and have a mostly back brake bias to help you turn start to drift. Although most highly powered RWD cars will drift moderately well without traction control.
Hope this helps

I, personaly, use the Nissan r-34 all wheel drive tuned to an R3 stage with a tune setup that is on my storefront for 5,000 cr, make sure it is in manual and you put the car into gear 4 as it will have the right power but then not too much for you not to control it, my xbox live gamertag is shifter300, add me and say you saw this on this website, for drifting cars that I will make to your specifications and your needs

Really, it's not much of a matter of what car you're in. Like people have said, it's what works for you. I use a Datsun 510, a Mazda MX-5 and an M3 E36. They all drift like a charm, and all it takes is some simple tuning. The important thing is that you can find what car works for you, and improve it from there. Yes, torque should be higher than power, that does make it easier, but that isn't necessary. Just find a car you think will work, and work up from stock. That'll be the path to success.

At the moment I'm using a Nissan 370z optimised for S-class. Keep it naturally aspirated, because the turbos kick in and everything goes to crap. Make it as light as possible, and have a spoiler at the back (makes it more flickable)

I have over 200 drift cars and all I have to say is:

Use a RWD car
Make it have LOTS of horsepower
Keep torque line when upgrading AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE
Sport tires (thickest possible on front and rear)
Never go above S class

TUNE:

TIRES:F:30PSI
R:28PSI

ALIGNMENT:

CAMBER:F:0.5
R:0.5

TOE:F:2.5
R:-0.5

CASTER:7.0


GEARING: self preference

ANTI ROLL:F:where ever rear is at
R: same distance you moved front

SPRINGS: same concept as anti roll for damping aswell

DIFFERENTIAL: both 80%

This is the tune I run on every car

It works for me

Tweak tire rear pressure for more/less spin if not suited


GT: Flat 0ut

All this and that about tuning cars threw the roof.. 300bhp is plenty enough and 4wd cars power slide not drift I've got a few cars but my favs are my E30, sierra cozzy or if you want a real test a charger... Its all about the entry.. Only feather the trottle else you'll either spin out or the tires will bite and throw you off track.. Omg some of these comments are so funny.. All I can say is try drifting a 900+bhp car in real life haha oh and seriously if your lucky enough to have a rwd car in real life wait till it rains and drift some bends, really good fun
