Top 10 best drift cars of all time
There is no denying it; drifting is fun. it's very funny. I don’t care what type of car enthusiast you are, it’s exciting to loosen those rear tires and slide over corners from the side.
You can drift most rear-wheel drive cars with enough power, but there are simply some cars that are much better than others. So which cars are the best for drifting? First, let’s talk briefly about what makes a good drifting car.
Drivetrain: You want a front-engine, rear-wheel drive car. Front-wheel-drive cars can slide, but they can’t drift.
Transmission: You should preferably have a manual transmission. This is because you have more control with a manual, but it’s also possible to drift with an automatic tranny; you just won’t have the level of control you will with a manual and it will be more difficult.
Weight Distribution: Close to a 50/50 front/rear ratio; just search for stats on the car and you’ll find this information.
Power: The car must have enough power to keep the wheels spinning while you’re drifting. This shouldn’t be an issue for anybody reading this website.
Condition: Make sure your car is in good condition. Check and re-check your car to make sure it can handle the forces caused by drifting – you’ll be surprised how tough it is on a car. You might want to use cheap or old tires at first – they won’t last long.
So...what are the best cars for drifting? Continue reading for the list...
Because this is so subjective to each individual, I won’t list them in any sort of order. Once person might like one car for drifting more than the other; this just serves as a reference point for finding a good car for your drifting pleasure.

For typical liability reasons, I have to say not to drift on the local streets because it is dangerous and illegal. Please consult local laws for details and try to enter a large open parking lot or participate in organized rafting activities. Seriously... don't be silly.
