Japanese automakers have ascended the auto industry’s ladder to become some of the most popular and consumer friendly in the whole world.
The bias ply racing tires of the 1960s-1980s lent themselves to driving styles with a high slip angle. As professional racers in Japan drove this way, so did the street racers.
Drifting. It's the opposite of the traditional racing and what cars are actually designed for. But it offers great thrills and oh joy of joys when you successfully connect two or more consecutive drifts ! Drifting has become more and more popular and many fans want to try it on their own.
Here are the best cars for drifting !
200sx / 240sx (S13 / S14 / S15)
The Drift King !
The 200sx form Nissan is the top choice for the modernday drifter. It's not that important what model you own. An early S13 will do great ! The S13 makes 180HP from the 1.8-liter turbo CA18DET motor, while the later S14 and S15 models use the 2.0-liter turbo SR20DET to deliver 200HP. The engines are strong, easy to play with and leave you with lots of room for upgrades ! The best one to choose if you are looking for price-to-performance would be the S14, but If you have no restrictions on the money side, go and opt for the S15 ! This car takes every corner with style !
