hey /o/, just been wondering what makes a good "drift" car.
If there's anything I want to learn how to do its drift. My town is pretty small and I'm pretty sure there's about 0 people in my town that do it, so I could be the one guy leaving skid marks all over the place.
So what does make a good drift car, what are some key things to look out for or essentials in a car that's meant for drifting. As much as I like the idea of fixing up an classic muscle and drifting in that I'm sure its much too heavy to do so unless I make some serious modifications.
one thing to note is that my towns roads are ass and whatever i'm driving has to have a relatively high ride. I know people with lancers and WRX STIs and they've scrapped the bottom of their cars just driving over some rough areas.

Classic muscle is great for drifting. My uncle has a 94 rwd mustang and it drifts amazingly.

Tell me about it. We've got shitty roads, snowy winters, and a complete lack of any windy roads where I live.
Before you buy anything though I'd recommend you practice hard turns and mess around in some parking lots in whatever you have already, so you have an idea of what you're getting into. Assuming you already have a car.

You need a RWD car with shitty tires and a limited slip differential or welded differential - and manual transmission doesn't hurt.

frankly both the structure and content of your post makes it feel like a kenM comment.

RWD, shitty weight distribution, shitty suspension, and too much power for your shit tires. Most drift cars are "sporty" cars instead of serious sports cars.
For example, a bnon stock miata is a terrible drift car and would start snap oversteering back and forth until you straightened out and crashed if you tried to break the rear out. Drifting a corner muncher like a miata, MR2, or 9186 takes some skill and retarded suspension setup. Maybe even a welded diff.
A 1986 corolla or fbody mustang is a great drift car.

just to clear you're saying these are things I want for a drift car?
