hi guys

just wanted to know what makes a perfect drift car?

I see most guys drifting the Lumina SS 6L V8 and the Nissan 350z

both cars are RWD and have a lot of torque

is it RWD + massive torque or there's more to it???
 
Like any activity involving doing specific things with cars, there's more to it. But you've got the gist... Pretty much everything else on the car can be modified and adjusted to suit, but if you don't have gobs of power going to the rear wheels, you're not going drifting.

Besides the point but related - what a flippin' idiotic waste of time and tyre rubber drifting is. So what if you can look all 'stylish' being a knob...
 
Just don’t hit a protruding manhole. You roll the car...

Heh... Sounds like there's a story? ;)

Thirty years ago I inherited Mom’s old car (as many do) and pimped it up (as many do), finished matric (celebrating), going away for National Service that week (mourning). These events involve much drinking. Not to waste time I didn’t bother sleeping for 3 days. There was gravel on the road in my favourite drift location (causes more sideways drift than intended). I drifted often around this corner – it was routine and I was familiar. It happened in the early hours of the morning – no traffic.
 
Jewellery and nice vacations also impress the ladies, and cost a lot less than buying a car and modifying it for drifting. Also, chances are better you'll be alive to reap the rewards of your expenses.
