Ranking Drift Week chassis to find the ULTIMATE car!

- in this video Wout and I try and figure out what the ultimate Drift Week car is, rating them all. We rank Corvette, 240SX, Mustangs, BMW, and anything else we can think of by a variety of factors to try and come up with the ultimate drift week chassis. It doesn't matter if you have a 350Z, AE86, GR86, Nissan Z, E46, this all pertains.
“They’re soulless… they’re like Kardashiens” had me dying!😂
Or "Chelsea will stab you" 🤣🤣🤣
The dynamic between these two is awesome. Love it
Friendly arguments and banter with Wout are some of the best videos on this channel
“A Tesla looks like a stupid receptacle” 🤣🤣🤣
Greetings from Southwest Texas 🇺🇸 By far the most interesting conversation I have ever heard. It's like watching those two kids in the park on a seesaw then they start getting a little faster and it becomes more personal . I can see this becoming a podcast and adding two more people would be insane keep up the great work this has been the best entertainment for the drifting community.
HOWDY
@@LoneStarDrift OMG this is the best conversation ever
Interesting because it was an exciting argument, or interesting because you actually learned something?
@@Curry3659 interesting because I've never drove any BMWs and the Ford nor the Z cars. I scoot in a 96 S10 welded diff V6 maybe 180 horsepower and it gets my blood pressure up one of these days maybe 4.8 Ls swap
@@LoneStarDrift hey if he is interested in the m5 I have the perfect candidate
I think another category for your comparison could be "cost" as in the street cost of a car. Like for example an LS/2J swapped 240sx or F80 costs more than a C5 corvette or Turbo miata.
Plus an LS, 2J swapped schassis is too common, imo I would have put the SR up instead or the KA motor
@@aftrnoon_ac Turbo KA's are no joke, people just tend to not build them on YT because they don't get the "JDM drip" and "it's a truck engine".
Such underrated engines imo
Regarding the SR, it's great, but there is a reason people JZ/LS swap S-chassis and thats reliable torque, which you won't get that much out of an SR unless you spend some bills (like Adam's S13 and S15 and literally any SR he owns).
Welcome to my TEDTalk
@@jon_eliz99 watch jimmy oaks, he has the same opinion and is going to put a built KA in his RWD civic haha
Keep up the content with him! He and Fink have so much to contribute to the conversation and the international perspective makes it very compelling
Brandon Wicknick when he finally learns how to run a JZ on waste oil: 😈
Man that ad placement at 6:12 was spot on brother, good work 😂👍
Putting the ad between however and statistically was everything. I like homies point of view and honesty. Great work gents. Hmmmm I guess a v8 s chassis, if I could drift.
I love how much you guys disagree but still get along ok.
Bro it's the best! 🤣 I love it
some of the best public convos right now in the drifting world with these two, every time.
Having been in and out of drifting for 14 yrs obviously I grew up in S Chassis. Since I've gotten older and kind of lazy I've gravitated to the "keep it stock" mentality. I had a C6 drift car but for expense purposes and value to chassis ratio (like newest Chassis for the money) I decided on a 15 Mustang GT. Also with me being 6'5 (because of this all my drift cars have to be modified for seating positions) it aided in additional comfort with the only drawback so far being numb steering.
Good Feedback.
Mustangs and Corvettes are definitely the best out of the box "keep it stock" type of car. Throw some coilovers, an angle kit, and a handbrake in those puppies and you're good to go. With some of the FDF videos I've seen on the angle kits they make for 5th gen Camaros I feel as though they could be another to add to the list with Mustang and Corvettes.
@@HighRollerzLP You don't rlly need to drift with a hydro
@@aftrnoon_ac i think everyone knows that but its a safe bet to throw one in your car for ease of drivability and the ability to rip it if you need to get out of a sticky situation. Hydro is right there in line with your shifter and steering wheel which makes it more ergonomic when it comes to situations like that. I know people tend to overuse handbrake but its definitely nice to have at your finger tips if something goes wrong.
I agree E60 m5 be cool for drift week hope see next drift week. 🤩
Im just glad to see them not arguing/disagreeing.. haha
This was good. More of this. More of Wout.
It would have been cool to see the is300 or supra on that list.
A Mk4? f*ck that car
Actually I'm a celica supra guy, but also like mk3s.
No love for the IS300?
I think the G35/37 sedan deserves to be on that list. More comfortable than a Z and more exciting because sedans are cool. Do some OEM+ styling and run it.
I’ve got a V35 sedan for that exact reason. Same drivetrain as a Z but has a bit more character.
Plus you can fit 8 wheels and all your tools in it, and still have a free passenger seat
My G35 sedan was a blast to drive.
Great video.
Wout, Aaron and Wicknick need to start a top gear like show on drifting
Wout acquired the corvette jacket lmaoooo
Mr corvette jacket and Luke fink would have made this a good fun discussion.
Mr squiggle just wants to rush and tick off a box work on not cutting people off.
Probably from being busy all the time.
It’s actually for viewer retention. if you’re not constantly adding information or just start rambling on a single topic for to long people stop watching it’s that simple .
“Mr squiggle” 😭😭👌🏻👌🏻
"Chelsea is go na stab you"
"You wrote it down" 😂
This came out great!
I just want to know what we need to do for the e60 m5 to happen!
Definitely, I agree. The E60 chassis is great, very balanced and easy to drift. I had a 530d winter beater car M57TU 218hp version. The thing was sooo good, I didn't expect it to be that easy to drive, keep at angle, make smooth transitions. Definitely wanna see someone do a proper build with that chassis. If you throw all the crapout like all the interior, electric heated seats, all the upholstery, etc. etc you can get it down a lot in weight. M5 would be way too expensive as a concept though. I think a better more realiable concept would be to get a regular 525i/530i and LS swap it. There is already wisefab for the E60 chassis so why not?
After getting through the fd part I’ve decided I am putting ac in my fd and bringing it on drift week. (P.S. I am not a small japanese man)
Do it!!
you guys are good combo for that type a video. i remember Aron having a similar vid, but it was less entertaining :D
"NO! I have the marker!"
Wout: **sigh**
Best guest
The E60 is actually gonna be an amazing chassis for drifting. I had a winter beater 530d last year and it was extremely good. Very precise for a big car and I had pretty good steering feel. Also the fact it has very long wheelbase makes it suuuper easy to drive, smooth in transitions. The M5 with a manual and some weight reduction I believe will make a lot of sense for Drift Week and in general for a drift car. They also make wisefab for it. I wonder why not many people use those cars for drifting, maybe cause they are so rare in manual.
Wout kinda right though, Chelsea drifting his 318ti was way more exciting than a normal 3 series so his z3 point stands
The video we’ve all been waiting on!!!!
Thumbnail is FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's such a dope thumbnail man 👍🏾💙
As a point for the e60 m5, Gatebil has ran them as taxis for a lot of years, the s85 is actually quite reliable to track.
By far the most funny video 😂
on serious mode great content 👌
1JZ swapped Cressida best drift week car. May be slightly biased because I just did the whole trip in mine 😂😂
E46/36 M3 all day
A ls swap brz would be my go to choice
E46 all day
Realistically the best all around drift car for both Drift Week and running local events would be an LS swapped E36/E46.
Yo this is hilarious lmao 🤣 Aaron doesn't realize but he does "podcasts" on the go at tracks with participants fresh off the event.
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
This is so funny "chelsea is gonna stab you"
I loved it🙏🏿👏🏿.
It is very informative.
I wanted to see the ae86 score compare to the big cars.
It is very informative.
I was surpised that @driftjesus mentionned talking about the M5 E60 for his drift week car.
We hear a lot that is not a reliable car ( bearings and stuff)
Theoretically, an E60 M5 with all the preventative maintenance should be great. But it's the mid-late 2000's BMW electrics that would worry me.
@@SirDankNewton true, I guessed, he was talking about the manual version exclusively in the USA because we did not have the manual version In Europe.
Why is the replacement of rod bearings on a 100hp/l big motor "unreliable" ?
There are very few N/A big motors that make that. You'd have to get to Ferrari for instance, and enter a world of preventive maintenance that make an E60 M5 seem like a 90's Camry
I love you two bouncing off each other and being very close to ignorant but in a comical way 😂😂
E36 touring with an s54 or the e92 m3 v8 would be the perfect car for me.... Handles great, looks cooler than a 36 coupe and has a tonne of room in the back for everything you need 👌 also, other than axles (half shafts in eu) i never break anything on my e36 and I've done nearly 3 years of drifting in it.
E60 M5 for the win 🥇. Please do it Wout
Great uploads 👏
“I have the marker” lmfaoo reminds me of the best car to buy list you made years ago. The new chassis added to this list basically just put the, into the “have money” grouping from the old video. Cool cars and work good but require money. Each driver finds the best car they can within the reliability, money, knowledge category. But I’d pick the F80
Again here we go with subjective videos . What’s the best this whats the best that . The best car , motor , suspension , tires etc is whatever machine feels better to a person is all that matters . There skill level and there budget for the machine of there choice ....
I'm going to build a om648 swapped w124 and absolutely DUNK this whole list.
do it!
cool nice video
I want to see an E60 M5 run a drift week
Love the jacket
I’ve been drifting my 2015 Mustang Ecoboost for 3 years now and I’ve been loving it. The turbo 4 has more character than the v8 imo which helps the “soulless” issue and the lower power helps tire wear aswell.
They mentioned something about the steering on them in the video. You ever had any issues with yours?? I'm looking to get into a 2017ish GT as a new drift car
@@jakedaniel6238 they have electric power steering which can be bit vague but I’ve never had a problem with it. I’ve no issues with self centering or anything like that. Like any chassis you learn to adjust your driving style.
@@edpudvah5159 no worries good to know. I knew about the electric steering just wasn't sure if there was any other issues. Unfortunately in Australia s550 platform is not common for drifting
Have any videos!?
How about the Hyunday Genesis Coupe? That one seems fine on paper but I haven't seen many people make drift cars of them.
Excitement: 0
S chassis e36/46 350z Miata
As a z person or someone who drifts a g35 I dream of stepping up into a corvette so I can stick with stock drivetrain and just focus on suspension and driving and I started with an American drift car so evolving into another American drift car seems better than dealing with jdm tax
What drift car did you start with?
Love these debates but I think the amount of work people put into the drift week cars you could make a gt86 work for the trip just a
Turbo kit and angle mods would make a ripper with some small ish tyres
Obviously slightly bias though haha
Fucking Wout cracks me up
Are you an E46 subframe mount SIR
Why don't you ever see Camaros like 1999 and up as drift cars.... They come with atleast a LS1 ? Is it the suspension?
Second this cause I love fbodys
Probably because there's no angle kit yet and probably because they're too expensive. Between those and the WS6 people want way too much money for them. Could probably buy a V6 one and ls swap it for less lol
@@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS they can be had for dirt cheap around here. Even the ws6 can be. And parts aren't anymore expensive then a newer mustang. I don't ever even see the newer Camaros like 2010 and up ones when they re released them. I've found them for less than you would pay for just a LS engine.
And if I can find a angle kit for my Audi they are alot easier to make for the Camaro then my Audi. But I'm asking from drifters who do this daily why they don't consider them. A 240 and basically all these cars I see on drift week cost more than a Camaro with a big LS engine in it
@@JuanBrolo you're gonna have to show me a cheap manual V8 ws6 because I've never seen one below 15k.
I'd have to guess because while they would be interesting from a spectators pov idk if they're that exciting from a drivers pov maybe 🤔 idk.
Probably because they always get cannibalized for LS swap builds
No one thinks of it (and i’m sure there’s a reason why) but a wrx or sti for drift week, take out the front axles and lock the center diff and buy some really beefy rear axles, with some small power mods you can reliably make 320~400hp and subaru parts are like legos
People think of it an I have had friends that have built them, but they are a bad idea for a lot of reasons. Interesting idea to start with but the reality of it isn’t that great. I like the way you think though!
Engine go boom real fast
@@BAKAMAKAMEDIA nahhh, especially if it’s an EJ20 engine they are robust
@@Tavian. 🧢
@@Paul.mcdouble My Legacy GT is on like a 4 year old tune @320WHP and still runs mint
Its fun how you dont see any supras drifting in USA or is it just me? In Scandinavia they are super popular?
Prices are through the roof on MK4 and MK5 is same issues as new BMW's with the electronics
I wanna see more sedans!
Z3 superiority!
Look at the Gatebil e60 drift taxis!
My guess before watching. corvettecorvette
Nope!
@@DriftJesus damn i was wrong hahaha.
Z3 M coupe is a dream car. Very exciting. Very rare, very odd to see one, especially drifting.
Very rare!?!?!?!?! Very odd to see!?!?!?!?! Very exciting!?!?!?!? U trippin
@@eriksiddons4730 i never see M shoes out driving around. Maybe there will be one at a car show or I see them listed in club groups. But yeah, that's a super cool car that they didn't make many of and you rarely see involved with motorsports. Most are garage queens or someone in the city might drive it to the office parking garage. They certainly are a treat to see getting drifted.
Aaron stop interupting him, now I will never know why germans are smart people 😆
In my opinion,, what is important to a driver is the order of importance in reverse order except for reliability would still be first.
- cheap car that is easy to work on.
- tire availability so you can drive if your car is up to the task.
- exciting so your friends are drawn to join you and the driver has a blast even with little seat time.
- and so on
I guess my 13b RX7 didn't do Driftweek 2? Yeah, I missed 2 tracks but to no fault of the rotary. Lost a turbo/diff/ and transmission.
I bet an A90 Supra with a manual swap would be amazing on drift week.
Apparently it's getting a manual from the factory pretty soon as an answer to the new Z
I agree tho, it really strikes that balance of power and reliability
32:16 someone know who is the photographer?
Sy, the cameraman for Lone Star.
@@davidsegura1644 ooh i see, thank u, what a picc 🔥
What about the mk3 supra with a 1jz, or just throwing this one out there an sn95 because just like the s197 parts are cheap and they're pretty reliable, with less electronics. Lastly there is the 370z and newer Z coming out. How would you rank those since it's the same chassis
I have the marker! LOL
I would argue that the fix ability of a jzx is more like a 5 only because all the front suspension you can use IS300 stuff and the motor you can get away with using usdm JZ parts and if it’s a w58 trans car that wouldn’t be to hard to get either the diff as well cause you can use an is300 diff now the rear suspension and body panels are a bit funky that’s why I only gave it a 5 maybe a 6
What happens if you break your windshield on drift week so badly you have to replace it before you are allowed back on track again?
I would choose e36 or e46 touring
how about Chelseas foxbody ecoboost swap?
Im glad that the s197 platform was mentioned in this. They are tanks and with the FDF kit on the front it transforms the steering. Stock they are garbage.
GR86
Not sure who rocks the Vette jacket better...
80year old, I once met my landlord when I lived in Finland, he turned up in a ferrari tracksuit gold watch and ferrari glasses, baller!
The ending is soooooooooooo funny lmaoooooooooooo
LS E90 FTW
How is the Miata more driftable than the 86? I'm still running the torsion LSD diff (changing it to the is300 diff tomorrow for MB drift series) but it still slides damn good even topping out third running 70+. Fixable is ten because all parts even motors can be shipped overnight. I find angle can be limited but fixed with extended tie rods and weld the diff. It'll bang with anyone out there with a simple tune headers get it to 200hp
miatas that have angle are easy to drive, 86s take a certain type of driving skill that is much harder to refine than a miata IMO. Speaking from assetto corsa experience and my irl drift miata. So I could be wrong but thats how I see it.
@@awesomecooly123 I just feel that if we're talking stock car out of the gate I would definitely say that the 86 is a more driftable car than the Miata.
@@livesidewayz At stock they are probably pretty similar difficulty, miatas are quite easy to slide. But with angle and proper caster settings miatas are a shorter S chassis. Most drifters probably can't drift either an 86 or a miata tho for that matter.
@@awesomecooly123 ik the 86 thought me so much. I learned all my bad habits and got out of most of my bad habits in this car. If it weren't so expensive upfront to have one I'd say this is the car to learn in. I've had people drive my car and they say they don't know how I drive it the way I do but you have to drive the hell out of it. When I baby it she doesn't perform good but when I really push her she's almost dreamy. I'm excited to see how it feels with the welded diff. Steven Larson told me to get rid of the diff or weld it and watch how the car will drastically change my style and ability to maintain drift
Piedmont in North Carolina has a bunch of Miatas and they all shred so I'm not taking anything from the mx5 but I'm a little bias in my opinion. Same reason everyone telling me my mk3 supra isnt a chassis I should build to slide.
Is300 needed to be in the list !
more wout :)
Can someone tell me what kinda corvette jacket that is? im tryna buy that exact one is it super rare or something
Y’all forgot to rate cost. You don’t see many Frs/brz out cuz they’re still expensive on the used market. If you could get 2013-15 for like $7500-10k with 80-150k on them. Used motors are as much as used sr20s. I’ve thought many times about buying blown up auto 2013s, swapping a manual and low mileage used motor in it, But you’d have at least $10k in the car and just doing that. Sucks cuz every other market is flooded with them.
Is300 would be another cool one
what an ending. could not have done the video better
I would say excitement for a miata is pretty variable, if its a 16 year old in a stock 1.6 open diff that understeers its a 0. But, if you see a miata on someones door, you think holy shit that miata can actually drift! It just rarely happens that they have good drivers behind the wheel.
funny about the JZX100 and BMW size comparison. Aaeron you have had a SC300 and that car everybody is like "that is huge" but if you park it next to a E36 the length between the axles are almost the same XD
The SC300 is about 300+ pounds heavier than an E36, but feels way heavier than that for some reason. The E36 feels much smaller than an SC300 too. As someone that has had a drift week SC300 with a JZ, I wouldn't suggest them for anyone. To get one into drift week shape and have a JZ in it, and an angle kit, it would cost way more than an E36 m3. The SC300 is a deceptively expensive chassis once you factor in the front control arm prices and ball joints, along with JZ parts and the R154.
I didn't love my SC300 either, I'm not sure why, it just didn't get me excited to drift it.
@@LoneStarDrift funny how in europe a soarer with 1jzgte is cheaper than an e36 m3. I have had my "sc300" for 7 years, and will recommend it to everyone. car is a tank and never brakes and there is a ton of parts for it as it shares chassis with supra mk4
Science~~ 30min later, "nooo, I have the markeeerr" xdddd
99 Lexus GS300
What about a ss camaro with an angle kit…already has the ls3. No torque tube more room cheaper to fix . I know they arent a widely used option but there is a guy near me driving his to OSW to drift events and then drives it home
They are really heavy which is hard on tires, and they aren’t popular with manuals I would assume. They are invisible to me on the road so I don’t know how many of them are out there
@@LoneStarDrift definitely respect your opinion. They weigh roughly the same as a mustang gt so thats why i mentioned it both are in that 3700 range with 1les being a bit lighter, better suspensions better rear gear and such. I might have to try one once i get my other projects done haha
the great clown shoe debate
No IS300s huh?
Nah, those FR-S boxers will spin rod bearings. Ask me how I know 😢

Thank you!
THANKS! that is amazing! I was never going to do that, but it is crazy how high the mustang got even with a 1 in the tire wear category lololol
@@LoneStarDrift agreed! Took some liberty with the s197 numbers based on what you said… ha! :)

32:06 best kept secret
imo corvette´s are super boring to watch
