ok well hp is fun and all but drifting is just way too much fun....anyways i just had some questions about the cars listed above?

which is cheaper to drift ?

better weight distribution?

which is safer drifting?

better out of the factory drift machine?

i honestly would love to build a drift car, but not sure which i would go with if i ever decided to drop my current project and build a drift car, some one give me some useful 240 vs miata drifting facts

You serious?

I would say neither are cheap to drift. (240 if i had to pick one)

Weight distribution doesn't really matter without suspension/advance knowledge of setups

both are safe when you have a 6 point cage and door bars and a harness.

I would say 240 outta the box.

Why in the world would you ask this question on a NISSAN INFINITI CAR OWNERS FORUM. lol I'm joking but i think there is gonna be alot of bias, but i've always considered trying a miata because it so light and small but I've had 3 major problems with them

1. I'm 6'3" and I used to fit perfectly in them at the age of 82. They're convertibles. Lots of wind, should of made them targa3. Often called a girls car.

But in all honesty I love drifting my 240sx so much, and it drifts so nice that there is nothing another car could improve on, except for cupholders. It sucks drifting with water bottles flying all over the place.

i do have one already but im slowly building up my project wich has a t04b, and thats too big to drift around here. i need something smaller like a t28. i really like the thought of a all motor ITB ka24. theres one around here and its flippin beast. he's maxing out his 480cc injectors all motor on a ka. but he also is the tuner for one of the the best shops in the area

if u want somthing small that a taller person can fit in to drift with go with a 86. it has a longer wheel base and it isnt a "chick car".
