It's all a matter of prefrence. Pick a car that you like(rear wheel drive) and tune it until it works perfectly for you.

I personally use the Nissan 240 and others i don't remember at the moment.

I agree with Maya !.

It really is a matter of preference first off you need to choose which drive style you want to use ,RWD is what alot of people will tell you "the only real drive for drifting" FWD is just weird and AWD which is very popular with alot of gamers but is shunned by the RWD drifters.

So the choice of car you chose would depend on your choice of drive.
I will say that the car + the tune will NOT make you a drift king ,No no no .. that takes a huge amount of practice.

Get an e36. Brilliant drift cars. With the right tune, they can do ANYTHING. I've won so many lobbies with my baby. Theyre brilliant cars no denying it. They'll hold mad angle and almost never spin out. Very quick as well.

But if you're just starting off, use a Lots Carlton or an s14/15 to get you going. NEVER use an AWD car for drifting, it just proves that you're stupid and terrible.

my one-77 (un-upgraded)
and my nissan GTR (r2 class upgraded with a 0-60 of 1.046 seconds and a top speed of 269.7 MPH)

i like my pontiac and GTR the best
