The Nissan 200SX is a drifter’s top choice. It doesn’t really matter if you have an early S13 model (pop-up headlights) – any one would do. The S13 makes 180HP from the 1.8-liter turbo CA18DET motor, while the later S14 and S15 models use the 2.0-liter turbo SR20DET to deliver 200HP. Both are strong, easy to learn in, and have stacks of tuning parts available. The pick of the bunch has to be the S14 for the perfect compromise between budget and all-around performance. If money is no object, the looks of the S15 cannot be ignored. You can go sideways in style and look good while doing it.

The Mazda RX7 is notoriously difficult to drift if you’re a beginner, but absolute joy in the hands of a talented Drifter. It provides serious sideways pleasure. The car has great balance and the Wankel Rotary powerplant in turbo form makes enough power to smoke tires to their death – even though it’s only a 1300cc. The FD is the model of choice, but any of its predecessors will do.

The Supra is Toyota’s answer to the Nissan GT-R. The fact that it’s RWD makes us jump for joy because that means serious sideways action. There is plenty of poke on offer from the turbo straight six lump and minor mods will get you turning the weather form sunny to overcast in no time. It isn’t the lightest drift car around, but a healthy diet of stripping and bucket seats should see to that nicely.

Why pay for a new 370Z when you can get a used 350 far less money? Not a light car to drift, but the 3.5-liter V6 puts out a healthy 276HP. Drift tuning parts are plentiful for suspension, brakes, and engine, and the chassis has good balance making the 350 one of the most driftable cars around.

Whoever thought a muscle car would be so good at going sideways in a controlled fashion? The new generation ‘Stang might still have a prehistoric suspension and the tendencies of an alcoholic when it comes to flat out cornering, but let that not deter you. The remedy can be found at numerous tuning shops across the States. Five liters of brandy-fueled fury means slides are always only an ankle-twist away.
