Rhys Millen and Daijiro Yoshihara were called upon for a drifting project at Road & Track magazine. The January 2010 issue which just hit stands this week takes seven completely bone stock vehicles to find out how well they will drift. The seven cars they tested are:
Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
Nismo Nissan 370z
Ford Mustang GT
BMW M3
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Lexus IS-F
Mazda MX-5 Miata

that is awesome, a drifting feature on r&t.

i found this funny. what dai said about drifting the mustang: "it was as if I was trying to drift a boat."

yeah this is a sequel to an article they wrote a few years back when they did the same thing, compared a bunch of new cars to see which was the easiest to drift stock.

They had Rhys and Alex P do the driving
 
all i know is that this is old lol...i have t his mag in the back of the miata...they have an awesome picture of a miata and m3 sliding like with in inches of each other.
 
Yeah I just thought it was funny that the E92 M3 won this article, and the E46 M3 won the old article.

Curious but why? It makes the most sense to me that the track inspired car be the most well rounded drift car.

i was expecting the 370z to take it too. i read in another magazine that test drifted the 370z, i forget which, thought it was designed with drifting in mind and that it had just the right amount of natural oversteer for drifting.

cause they cost alot to build and maintain and body parts are expensive when you wreck. But in theroy a real team could support a bmw but i doubt anyone will do it.

Isnt chelsea running in fd now he drives a bmw
 
Mike Essa Is moving to a BMW for FD this year and Chelsea is going to try to run every event he can in FD this year.

Andy Sapp actually got a couple top 16's with his car in the past. The only problem with his car is power. The chassis I very well setup but its hard to be competitive in a 200whp 1800lb AE86, he was trying to keep up with a 178whp 3000lb E46

That is pretty freaking hard. I mean I was to quit drifting tomorrow I would give him the engine out of my car cause even I make more power than he does.

Did you read the article? They loved how the z drifted but it lost pts b/c of brake issues (some abs shit).
