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 !
Toyota Altezza / Lexus IS 200

Very good "Beams" engine, fun to drive and not too dear to run. The car has decent enough lock as standard to have fun in and learn the basics. The lack of power however means you must focus on weight shifting and more advanced momentum skills. Lots of mods available. If you are opting for more power and MR2 engine conversion is possible!
