S13 s14 s15 vrs 180sx
S13 s14 s15 vrs 180sx
i noticed most of the japanese drifters are using 180sx instead of s13 s14 s15, is the 180sx better for drifting?
Re: (frapjap)
the older cars like the s-13 and ae-86 have less advanced suspension, the newer cars (ie. s-15) have newer independent suspension that makes them grip better. the older cars lack in grip which makes them better at sliding. at least thats what i read somewhere.
Re: (collk88)
The suspension is practically the same between all years. There are few differences on the S14, a few more on the S15... but basically the same.
Its just a matter of opinion really. There are tons of S14 and S15 drfiters, really... You can settup a car anyway you like. However S13's are cheaper and more plentiful than the other 2, so Imsure that has a big effect as well
Re: (collk88)
Like already stated, suspension is very similar, but I have heard better things about the s13's than the s14's. And since I think the s14 and s15 have a very similar or identical suspension, then the s13 reigns king...collk88 wrote:the older cars like the s-13 and ae-86 have less advanced suspension, the newer cars (ie. s-15) have newer independent suspension that makes them grip better. the older cars lack in grip which makes them better at sliding. at least thats what i read somewhere.
j/k, but anyways, yeah weight is a big plus..
to clear one thing up first, the 180sx is a s13.
so the real question is, is the 180sx better for drifting oppose to the s13 silvia, s14, or s15.
from what i know, the s15 is the best drifting car out of the 4. it's said to have a closer 50/50 weight ratio than the 180 and of course a light car putting down 250hp is more than enough power to get you sideway.
the 180sx is light and have the right power to get you sideway, and have somewhat a better 50/50 weight ratio due to the heavy fastback glass oppose to it's twin brother the silvia. and of course, who doesn't want a cheap car that's already drift-ready.
