  • Drifting is sick, but what if you wanna rip some skids in a car that’s NOT a 240SX or E36? This is a list of 9 very uncommon (yet super capable) drift cars that you won't have to pay the drift tax on. These cars are undercover burners-of-rubber, and this is the ding dang D-list.

Old, underpowered and not tuned for drifting. Plus mines an ‘86 so it just adds to the feeling as if they’re talking about me too 😅

    You can actually drift the Outback while keeping the 4wd! Welding the rear diff instead of the center diff still gives you a "driftable" lower-grip rear-end while still being 4wd (meaning you can drift at higher speeds with more control). It's something different but it's tons of tun.

      Except the 944 is not cheap...the most expensive 944 you will buy is the cheapest one you buy.
      Not kidding. The parts aren't cheap, the maintenance requires a lot of disassembly, meaning a lot of stuff that can break on a 30yo car, and require a lot more work per mile. Especially the variocam DOHC versions.
      I love mine but they are not what people think they are going into them. Which just makes my first statement become even more true, as the cheap ones are the uncared for masses of porsches that people bought because they thought they were cheap.

    • @aircvr4175
      @aircvr4175 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The problem with drifting the C230 is that it has an electronic e-brake. Boooo. Plus, just finding a manual Mercedes is a chore. Manheim tonight lists thousands of them for sale at auction, but only 2 are sticks.
      The problem with drifting the Infiniti J30 is that motor can't handle sliding... the oiling fails which blows the motor. Same holds true for the Z32 (but not the Z31) 300ZX. Likewise, don't try to drift the MR2. Sadly, several of those cars can make and hold sick slides until after a few passes the motors all die from no oil. You'll also see that fate if you try to drift any Suburu other than the WRX (which is a pain because it is 4wd).

    I’m not kidding, I literally went gravel road drifting in my 02 Outback (the 4-door sedan of course) and eventually ended up destroying a chain link fence about 12 hours before this was posted. Fortunately in my state, 1 in every 10 cars at the junkyard is an early 2000’s Subaru Outback, so I replaced all the parts today for basically $80.
    As for drifting them, even the 4-speed autos can drift pretty well with the stock AWD setup (though life of the AWD system may or may not be reduced..) The 4-speed autos use hydraulic-actuated clutches to both ends to split power. It is a wierd sensation when they are in stock trim. If you yank the E-brake, the computer detects it and will momentarily disengage rear-wheel power as the wheels lock up, but the instant you release the brake, it diverts almost 100% of torque to the rear for a second or two, ripping the tires loose on the rear until they catch up to the front tire speed, while allowing the front to pull the car in whatever direction they are pointed. (The changing torque transfer can lead to severe, fence-busting overcorrection if you aren’t ready for it though)
    The earlier 2000’s manual trans AWD is actually less effective at this because it has a viscous lsd that can’t disengage and therefore impedes awd drifting.
    The more you know...

    I'm a german and I've a E39 530d wagon as my dailybitch (412287km on the clock). It goes sideways pretty good. 2,2bar tire pressure in the front, 3bar in the rear tires. Opendiff life.. But when it's wet, doesn't matter😅

    I remember when I worked at subaru doing oil changes, I had to take an older Outback to a kinda dirt parking lot, and damn those things are fun to drift in gravel
