if anybody heard about

Next generation of Drift Car from any brand??

(affordable price...)

350z is great but little bit heavy and pricy...just I think MX5 miata mazdasport tune model would be good.But it's conv and little bit small... I heard about Hardtop orfull coupe... but it's difficult to expect...(my opinion)Rx8 - pricy compare to spec... I just need rx7 again...

anyone got rumor or leaking story...??

(Supra for 2005 and new Skyline.... is famous rumor I think...others?)

There's sports cars and GT's and sporty cars coming out from many brands.. most you have listed.

You didn't include the s2000, unless I misread your post.

most companies don't produce "drift cars". like I haven't seen a D1 Nissan or Nismo funded drift car. The aftermarket seems to be the ones funding most of the current drift cars. And they use older cars for a reason. Cost. Drift cars see a lot of damage throughout their life (not everyone races like Takumi), so cheaper cars are used due to their relative cheapness to replace body panels.

but if you wanna know, any car that's RWD will make a good starting platform for drifting, but most factory cars won't take the rigors of drifting for long.

the S13 can be made into a very good drift car.http://www.turnfast.com/default.html

here's a good site with some good info on suspension and what happens when you change settings. Not a bible by any means, but it's very very helpful
