Well here it is FPV's attempt at building a drift car. Still a lot of work to be done on it but yeah a good start. The donor car is a FPV F6 Typhoon with a 4l I6 Turbo. Power wise nothing confirmed but they are working towards 400+kw. Not hard really considering the amount of people getting that kind of power easily for the XR6T.

Yeah I think theres a really good Pontiac GTO thats been tuned heaps and is a good drifter. I remember a thread with a video on it from ages ago...
 
what about that stock one that they put onto topgear. they seemds to go side ways alot!
 
what people must realise also is that Ford in australia is only just getting back into motorsports. For 10 years (82 to 92) there was no car offered with a v8 from ford. They abondended motorsports and only in the last couple of years have decided to play catch up. Holden on the other hand have been at it all this time reaping the benefits of a stupid decision by Ford.
 
The Mustang pictured above just won the D1 competition here recently.
 
700hp.

And since when does HP matter for drifting? lame.

The D1 guys wouldn't be running mad HP if it didn't matter. OK, technically it's the torque that matters.

most cars in d1 are around 500 hp which imo is still way too much but not many guys go more than that. look at the hachi guys running under 200 hp.
 
It's all about weight. Keiichi Tsuchiya himself says power isn't necessar for drift, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that it isn't. If anything it's a crutch if you aren't advanced. Also look at the companies making the 500HP drift cars, you don't think they have a vested interest in selling all those power parts? Company drift cars are just rolling parts catalogs. With a ton of power and an unbalaced car all you can do are power over drifts, which don't get you many points.

A car with low power and good balance will kick the shit out of an unbalanced car with lots of power.
 
^ dont u need to keep up with the front drift car / not get kept up by the car drifting behind you like touge style in D1/US sh!tty drift series?

so basically an underpowered but balanced car can make absolutely sick drift angles...
but it might still lose?

enlighten me great one :p
