AE86 and mazda miata for the acutal handling but they are both under powered. the 90 body style 240sx with a SR swap is probably the best for the money and makes enough power to continue to stay competitive once you get better. I would try to avoid the S15 model because their transmissions are weaker. the trans is the same size as the one that i have but they shoved a 6th gear into it.

same car.
S13 240sx = RPS13 180sx S14 240sx = S14 Silvia The only difference is the driveline. They're the same car. Same chassis codes. |

no bud
just cuz the cars have the same chassis doesnt mean its the same car if you have a 240sx and you tell people you have a silvia theyre gonna look at you like your an idiot. i dont care what you say at this point but theyre different cars in my book. |

Man are you serious? Maybe if you tried to do some research you would find out for yourself. In the US they are called the 240 SX. All the way from 89-98. In Japan they are known as Silvias...with different versions and diferent motors, respectively. Check it...
89-98 in US is 240sx because of the motor (KA24de). i'm pretty sure that the 89-90 came w/ the SOHC engine (pignose). In Japan, the 89-94 had many models. -RPS13 (Hatchback with both Redtop and Blacktop SR20DET turbo's) -180SX Type X ( Hatchback w/ 1.8 Liter motor, ca18DET turbo) -PS13 Has different headlights than US coupes ( coupe version some came with SR20DET also) which also have Zenki and Kouki Versions - Sil80. Has a PS13 front end with a Hatchback rear end. The non-turbo models came with SR20DE's. Same motor found in newer SE-R's. Then you also have the 95-98 models aka S14 which came w/ blacktop SR20DET's. Also have the Zenkis and Kouki. Then you have the 99-01 which are known as the S15. Blacktop motors and slighter upgrades than the previous model. They all share the same chasis. That is why people can do different front end conversions and what not. |

i think the best one of all is the silvia's but the one i would love to see drift would be an 89' Mazda Rx7 Savanna. Those thinks are sick! My mkiii will do good as well.

The 240sx(USDM), or Silvia(JDM) or S-Chassis (both have same chassis - hence the name S13, S14, S15) are the best drift cars. That's why most drift cars you see are S-Chassis. That's why they're the most popular car among tuners and enthusiasts in Japan.
