    An S2K is a BITCH car to drift, you've obviously never tried it in one.

    A 240SX is good if you have money to modify it, in stock form a Civic drifts 20x better, hell even with a few mods a 240 is still a useless pig.

    Go E30 or E36 BMW, they have enough power out of the box, parts are dirt cheap, the geometry of the car is top notch, and you only need a few suspension mods and some bolt ons to have a really good "drift" car.

    Good advice. The S13 is a pig, but the S14 is a little better it seems. As between the Nissan's or the BMW's, I would go with the E30 or the E36 as well. I've had an S13 and rode in a few S14's, and now own an E36. The E36 seems to be better to me. I think it just drives better all around, whether it be drift, autox, or just daily driving.

    BMW defiantly makes a better chassis, one of the best for sure.

    Every BMW I've owned I've been impressed stock at how well they handle. My E39 handled amazingly for a heavy four door luxury car.

    They take motorsport knowledge and put it to the street for a well handling smooth driving car. Almost perfect weight distribution, perfect geometry, etc. A 240SX just doesn't have that.
