Default FR Drift? Whaaaa?

Ha, Catchy title, huh?

But Seriously, if only RWD cars can drift, then does that mean ANY foxbody car can drift, because there are only a handfull of cars that people use to drift. For example, and this is purely hypothetical, why don't you see trans am's drifting?

cause the platform royally sucks and they were made like the fox body mustangs to go in a straight line fast. my .02 on your hypothetical question. any FR can drift your correct its the dificulty and setup that has to be done that alot of people dont want to deal with. so they go with the platforms that are great for learning and drifting and having a reliable car that will take the abuse. thats why you see the handfull of cars that are mainly used to drift. theres so many more reasons y but i dont ahve time to say them all. any one please correct me if im wrong.

no, i guess your right, I didnt mean to say ANY FOXBODY, I meant ANY RWD CAR PERIOD. I mean the 240 cant be the only reliable drift car. Now I'm not bashing the 240, I LOVE THEM! I was just curious as to why you only see people drifting such a limited selection of cars?
