In my opinion, there’s no such thing as a “best drift car”. For me it all depends on which car you feel most comfortable in, how you tune it and your style of drifting. For instance, one of my best cars in my E92 BMW M3. But my tune may not work for someone else, and then another person just won’t suit the car so they would have to rebuild the car their own way. Drifting is a black art, and it requires skill, patience and fine tuning.
Every non informed mainstream scrub will say Nissan 240sx, or AE86. It’s whatever works best for you. An example is me in Gran Turismo, I drifted an Alpine A110. That’s a rear engine rally car from the 70’s.
Well, the 240 is a very versatile car. It is a great beginner car and also a great car for experts. And has a great range of tuning ability.
It is quite popular so it becomes many people’s favorite, especially due to how popular it is in real life drifting.
I know what you mean, it can be seen as a fanboi car. But I wouldn’t go saying anyone who says the 240 is best is, “a mainstream scrub”. It’s pretty insulting, and these forums are no place for such aggression.
Why don’t u go drive it and find out how easy it is to drift. There is a reason why any tryhard points drifter for AWD or RWD will tell you that is the best car in the game. Not to mention a lot of people on these forums don’t know how to tune gears in the first place making this the best car for them.
All I’m saying is gearing is tunable, so saying a car has good gearing is like saying it has good tire pressure, or good camber. And I had an Italia in FM4, it was one of the easier new MR layout cars to drift, minus the NSX.
Fine then maybe I should say that the torque bands in the Ferrari 458 is one of the best in the game since you can’t tune that which will make it feel like it has the best gear ratio.
But I’ll have to give it a whirl for myself, then. Had problems with the torque in FM4 with all Ferraris, because their engines are usually poop for torque compared to American V8s
