brz as a drift car - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Eng90 · 01-31-2021, 03:19 PM

Hey guys,

I am interested in the looks of subaru brz and trying to figure out if this car is an easy beginner drift car in stock form.

There is a drift park in my area that opened and I'm interested in learning to drift for fun nothing series just learning how to drift simple tracks and learning to do transitions for fun.

Please advise whether a brz is a good beginner's car to learn in and is it easy for a beginner ?

go carts are easier to learn on. and cheaper to repair.

If I wanted to **** around drifting, I'll buy a pos mustang add a decent lsd then play with it till it dies. All for less than $3-4K.
Or a pos BMW 3 series depends which is cheaper in your area.

If your sole base is just on looks. It's better to start buying shoes.

Yes, it's a good car to learn in. It's a good car to learn most things in; oil changes, engine swaps, and other things you'll need to be the drift king

Get an S-chassis.
Or as also suggested a BMW.
350/370Z also a consideration.
Miata/MX-5. Short wheelbase is a learning curve but doable.

Mustangs will require angle mods pretty quickly. (Not even sure it this is an option in Kuwait)
