I have slid a F350 Crew Cab Dually 4x4 before. My friend didn't think it was possible but if you get the boost to come on hard in the middle of the apex in the rain, the ass will come right out 
Needless to say he was hanging on for dear life lol.
I have tried with a 2002 Mustang GT and it just didn't feel right, can't explain it. I have also done my GMC 1500 pickup the past few days in the rain, again, something doesn't feel right. I was going to attribute it to the solid axle as well, until I read above posts. Maybe because no lsd?

Camaros are better suited for it due to having a better front steering setup, better weight balance and they have a factory torque arm and panhard bar setup already. I wouldnt mind trying it in my car if I had some cheap tires. But car either likes to plow or the ass just likes to come around to easy. Maybe after doing the full tubular front end setup things wil be different

I just wanted to straighten some of this stuff out. I found these forums by checking who was hotlinking my pictures (which is fine). I'm excited that there are other people out there interested in domestic drifting. Power//slideways is a club that I started for people interested in domestic drifting. It is not a club just for people in Hawaii, this is a club that is open to everyine in the world. The only reason we have Hawaii people all over the website is because we dont know anyone else drifting domestics. But I'm sure others will be interested in trying it out, and thats what we're hoping for. The club website was created to help pass on domestic drifting information. I also made very certain that people interested in domestic drifting understand the difference between drifting and powersliding/fishtailing/etc. I've read in some other posts on these forums that this was an issue. Hopefully our website can help clear this up. The guy drifting the white Camaro (1991 RS) is Revlimit. I am the guy drifting the maroon Camaro (89 RS) and the green Camaro (89 IROC). Revlimit and I started drifting back in 2001 at the Drift Sessions in Hawaii. Yes we use domestics, and yes they can make good drift cars with the correct tune. Everyone that drift knows that tuning is very important, so why would you compare factory stock domestics to modified imports? Its not really a fair comparison. Chris's car looks like that (what some might consider rice) because he wanted to attract attention at events. Those pics you see of him drifting were from the Signal Auto Challenge, Japan vs Hawaii event in 2003. Apparently it worked and Chris's Camaro has been seen in both Option and Battle magazines. Looking at those pics of the maroon Camaro makes me laugh as well, others have commented that the car looks like its parked. At that time, the car was completely stock, with the exception of a larger rear swaybar to induce more oversteer in the slide. Honestly the car was majorly underpowered making the still photos look boring. That maroon Camaro has been down for a long time while I weld together a rollcage and swap motor/tranny. The green Camaro is now my drifting project, and believe it or not, that car is completely stock as well with the exception of an aftermarket panhard bar. The green Camaro is not underpowered at all, and the motor is completely stock. Thats $3000 total you see drifting on the track. We will have some video's out soon that show the cars in action. Sorry for the long post, but I just wanted to give you guys some facts about what you are commenting on. As for the original question, would an American car make a good drift car? Thats not a stupid question at all, and the answer is yes. If you guys are interested in domestic drifting, please feel free to come check out our club. And remember ... in Japan the S13, AE86, etc is THEIR domestic car. So the honest truth is that Japanese people drift domestic cars. Japan domestic cars. Why would it be any different for us in the USA?

Somebody go post a link to this thread in the GM and Ford forums, it would be nice if the next drift day had more diversity in car choice (facetious question of the day at drift day: "Is this the 240 meet?"). Maybe Scott will bring his turbo carbed mullet out or something.
