there is an everything .com i guess...drifting originated in japan(hence the Z is popular in drifting), basically you take a pretty high powered(i guess doesnt have to be) RWD car and you drive it past it's limits so the tires break loose(drifting) and then do sweet stuff...lol theres actually competitions and everything, it is quite amazing to see some of the better guys in the sport. Their control over the car is ridiculous. it takes skill.
Ive seen better but this is a clip of a GTR drifting

isn't the Z too heavy for drifting, usually drifters favour GTR's and 200sx's.

A:
Ideal drift cars have 3 things:
1. High power
2. Rear wheel drive
3. As large a frontal weight bias as possible
These 3 factors allow the driver to rotate the car about the front wheels, hanging the tail out as much as possible at any given speed.
It's not really a sport, more of a show. I personally don't care for it, but it does require a lot of skill to perfect.

I have a Conquest TSi that would be an amazing drift car - I think the the weight distribution is something like 65/35. hehe. I can't go ANYWHERE in that thing with 1/4" of snow...lol
Believe only what you think, not what you feel.
A:
cheating? - you get the idea.
A:
Not worth it.

I think any car would be a reasonable candidate for drifting, with the proper modifications.
Although I would never do it, I think drifting is pretty cool. It is a great alternative to autocross and does require skill.
