So I've been thinking...
 

Call me stupid, but I love watching cars drift. I'm certainly no expert at it (been out to a Drift Day twice now), but I want to learn more. I had a beater 240SX as a joint project with my friend, but he's since moved to NorCal, and after working out the financial details, I let him take the car. With that in mind, I'm curious how many people think the 370 would make a good drift car platform? I mean, I see plenty of 350s running around the various drift day events...but at the same time, I'm plenty scared that it's not worth putting a brand new car through the pounding.

Any opinions? Maybe I should just stick to more 'sensible' racing styles? :driving:

Well I think the 2009 SI Swimsuit model commercial says it all honestly.

Drifting certainly will beat up your new car. The suspension really takes a hit and of course the tires. But the video BanningZ posted definitely proves this car can do it.

If spending a thousand bucks on tires every event or every other is no big deal for you then go for it!!!

In addition to the tires and suspension, dont forget about the clutch wear. And depending on your ambient temp........hope you get an oil cooler. Maintaining the higher revs to drift will get your oil temp to sky rocket.

The mustang is a better choice. With it's solid back axle you can drift even when you don't want to!

:D

I will second that emotion! :icon18:
