RWD.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Nissan (300ZX) ... unless there is some other car that is designated a 300Z

Drifting depends WAY more on the driver than the car. Get just about any RWD car and you can drift like the pros (or at least try like them).

if you want a drift machine, go with the 240 over the 300. the weight distribution seems to be better in the 240. see lots more of those on the drift circuits than 300's.

Is truly a nice but expensive car to drift. The main reason you hardly see 300's on the courses is because of the cost and it's high maintainance. 240's are much cheaper. I would still get a 300!

I agree. And even the pros end up doing 360's quite often when trying to drift a Z. The 240 should be much easier to master.

Yeah 240s are better for drifting, which we all know is a GREAT idea on public roads......
