List of good/bad drift cars

[Yajla]

First of all, I am not the best. But I have 370k(41st place) in drift challenge(october summit). My thoughts are valid only for keyboard.
I have 3 lists of drift cars: high speed cars, good cars, useless cars.

High speed cars

They are able to drift at speed 180-200 km/h. This ability gives them a very big advantage over other drift cars.

Mazda RX-7 - 1st place, good acceleration, bad grip and very sensitive car. Thats why I compare all drift cars with RX7.

BMW M5 - 2nd place, acceleration is great, little bit lack of sensitivity but with very bad grip(worse than RX7) M5 has comfortable handling. DONT USE IT UNDER RAIN

I cant choose 3rd or 4th places. Cuz next cars dont have significant differences

Nissan Skyline R34 - good car. Little bit slow acceleration.

2013 SRT Viper GTS - simply nice car. If rules requieres only supercar class, its good choice

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS - best muscle drift car. Nice sensitivity, grip a bit high.

1969 Dodge Charger - best retro drift car and nice muscle car.

1967 Shelby GT500 - uncertain car. It is good car in right hands. Nice acceleration, not enough good sensitivity. At a large angle of drift car can turn around. Thats why shelby requires more caution than another cars. You dont know how many times I burned my a$$ while driving this car. I dont recommend it for newbies.

Good cars

They are able to drift at speed 160 km/h. They are worse than cars from 1st list. But you can use them if track doesnt have long straight lines. All cars from list have good sensitivity. Also this type of cars is good choice for newbies.

RUF RT35 - 1st place. Awesome handling and comfortabe grip. Acceleration is good.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - Another great car from 2nd list. Same as RUF RT35. But something is worse.

BMW Z4 - very very high sensitivity. Sometimes its uncomfortable. But I think its one of the best car from 2nd list.

2015 Ford Mustang - nice car. Doesnt have bad/good features. Just good car. I feel that Mustang is "heavier" than RT35 or Corvette.

Lamborghini Murcielago - bad grip - it is special feature of Murcielago. Sometimes hard to handle this car. Dont recommend to use it under rain.

Nissan 370Z - bad sensitivity. I dont like this car.

Ferrari 458 - another car that I dont like. Useful only with manual gearbox. This car turns on 5 gear at 145-150 km/h. When you start to drift, rpm drops but 5 gear doesnt downgrade.

Useless cars

These cars have 160km/h top speed cap. More than that, next cars have another problems like high grip or poor acceleration. Dont buy them!

2012 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 - sensitivity is acceptable, acceleration is not enough good. Bad car.

Ford Mustang GT 2011 - very high grip. Bad car. You can use it under heavy rain only.

Ford Focus and Ford GT 2005 - the worst acceleration. These cars are able to drift at 120-130 km/h only. The worst drift cars ever.

______________________________________________________________________

All cars have acceleration bonus
What does it mean for me good drift car? Top speed while drifting: 180kmh or above, bad grip, nice acceleration(car doesnt stuck at 1st gear), comfortable sensivity

I use only keyboard and automatic gearbox. I know you can imrove your score by using manual gearbox or more than that by using clutch. But I dont wanna tryhard.

Some videos
1st video: there are some long straight lines. Thats why highspeed car is the best choice.

2nd video: track doesnt have long straight lines. You can use car from my 2nd list. But still highspeed car is better.

Nice work, and interesting insight. I only use a controller myself and I can't imagine having that much control over my car. I am fortunate to get 20k on those events. My top drift car is also the RX7 at 1299.

Nice work.

Completed it. I will not update it. I heard that Aventador and Subaru are not impressive cars. Dont know about Agera.

Sorry, but you miss out many cars, especially the hypercars, Such as Agera R, CTR-3, and Aventador.
