Anyone who has to ask the question if this is a good drift car should definitely not attempt to "drift" the car

It comes out in the game GRID, so it has to be a good car.


WHOA.

LOL. Don't take that seriously.

And yes, they can drift fairly well. Keep in mind it's its about 99% driver input, so don't get pissed at the car.

btw, get suspension and diff upgrades before.

i say if your wondering if it's a good drift car start off in a 240 or something if your worried about it. the ebrake does wear out like stated, but i use it everytime because i'm auto v8. but still working for me, and if it does go going to get stainless steel or sumtin. i would be happier.
