Probably stupid, but. . .

CAN american cars drift well? I'm relatively sure that you can make ALMOST any car drift with the right suspension, but i'm talking more in stock form. I know wheelbases and what not affect drifting, so that is pretty much where the question comes from.

i think alot of american cars have more trouble due to having solid rear ends, but i know they can still be slid. i'd bet whichever newer mustangs with the IRS might do alright. ive seen a crown vic tear it up in arizona.

example of a overpowered car, making it hrd to drift, and its a supra..... wait.... did i say too much power makes it hard?

High HP Supra Drift

as you see, high HP just means broader turns or u have to used weight transfer and less throttle.... high HP = different technique and abilities
