have to say that you can drift an americen car, but the don't hold up as well when you really beat on them. Taka had a 2001 trans am with a 6spd and the LS1. and when he tried drifting it the power steering pump exploded. i.e. not designed very well. me, if i had to choose a american drift car it would be a Mustang, due to it having rack and pinion steering, (most of the 80and early90's camaro's had recirculating ball) a very braod rang of engine and suspension options( i would build a 90-93 4cyl LX coupe with a SVo motor and 5 lub 4wheel disc conversion.) on the other hand the camaro is still a good car. my friend has an 85 firebird formula with a 5spd, 5.0 multiport motor and the WS6 package(lsd and rear discs) and most important no t-tops! and that car is fun as hell to slide around! and most people wouldn't consider a MK3 supra a drift car but i did that too. you just have to get used to the weight. mine weighed 3800 lbs with me in it(and i only weigh 135 soo)after i lowered it. it drifted just fine. but i have to say the two best cars in my OPINION are the ae86 and s13. i've had both and they just are the best platforms with which to start from. i also drifted a Starion and thought that it would make a very good drift car, just get rid of that piece of crap motor (can you say SR or even 1jzgte)
