rx8 good for drifting?
ive been asking alot about the rx8 lately, but one of the main things i want to know is if the rx8 can be a good drift car, not illegal drifting, but sanctioned or on privately owned property.
I apologize if this is in the wrong place in advance, just wanna know your thoughts on it or perhaps i should look at an rx7? 350z or g35? or sumthing else RWD.

that would make more sense, i would find it hard that mazda would DETUNE the rx8 for japan... more likely for them to detune it for the US lol

One Shot One Kill
well, it is drifting if he can pull it off, not FR drift though, FF drift require high speed attack with controlled on and off e brake application while countersteering and controlling ur throttle so that the front wheel don't overshoot(no drift) or not go fast enough(spin out)
granted, it is still much slower form of "drifting" since you are not pushing with the real wheel, instead you are braking with the real wheels.

Yea I hear that Mazda has created a well balanced vehicle for the RX8 50/50 but you might need more power I heard, to gain greater speed I think because you have to rev even longer to gain top speed for good drifts. But overall I say yes its a good drifter.
