SULTANS OF SLIDE: Search for the BEST production DRIFT car (370Z inside)-Road & Track

I always though a good handling car would be a poor drifter.

Never did like this "sport" called drifting. Nice article (for entertainment), though.

Great article. Interesting about the breaks, but this could be totally fixed. Wondering if a video will come up soon to go along with the article.

I was not surprised at the outcome, I knew the M3 would win immediately. Tiff Needle testing the M3 when it first came out comes to mind....

well I really don't think drifting was on the mind of the nismo Z makers....

the Nismo rims look awesome

cool article...im still keeping VDC on though.

cool to see that we were right behind cars in a higher price/performance bracket.

looks like fun. too bad we dont get to drift on public roads... even before that, people crash without stability control.lol

I find articles like this an oddity. The drivers are complaining about vehicles being too well balanced? Brakes and stability control are too good? Interesting...

Good thing the fastest way through a corner is the straightest line, not a drift. I would take their complaints as compliments in real racing.
