well how much horse are you running in it, not to bash LT1's I love em, but they dont have as much power as you got running thru, I know i know, its just stock he can do better,he can put bolt ons on it, but its according to his budget, in the end hed be better off buying a nissan and spend the money on a VQ30E engine swap and suspension mods which would turn out to be cheaper, and more plausible to the drifting genre. sure SS you can get it to break, but how long can you hold it, and can you transfer your slide to the opposite side without spinning out, this is when our weight comes into play, with alot of weight we have to be honest, in the rear, even wiht a setup of "stiff and low", it wont sustain a drift proprely. you wonder why you dont see any of our cars even in the backyard drifting scene. our cars ar abundant like a 240, corolla ( RWD version also knwon as AE85's AE86's and such) or S14, etc. were not expensive like a 350Z so why dont we see them, cause we dont make good drift cars period.
