Drifting with Eurocars?

A little while ago I had an old Saab 900 that I could just rocket around corners, grip or drift. Had a great balance but crappy suspension (no shocks cause the struts were dead), decent power with a 1.6L 16 valve DOHC but no turbo, couldn't find a decent turbo model I could afford at the time... about the only thing I could find wrong with it was the transmission and the high center of gravity - it had a tendency to lean over too much in corners.

Sadly enough, it had 240k miles when I bought it and gave out only 2 months later. The engine backfires when it's cold, and eventually something gave (either the carb or main gasket imo).

Anyways, does anybody recommend drift racing with eurocars, or is that sport dominated by japanese models?

Well, the sport is mostly populated by Japanese cars, even though many European cars would be excellent for drift.

There are many RWD Volvos that would work well, thanks to their torquey fours, as well as most any RWD Porsche you could name (930's especially, though 924's and 944's are pretty good too). My MGB GT drifts surprisingly well, as do many of the older British sports cars (when your tires are only three and a half inches wide, you tend to slide around even when you don't want to). Old Euro (and Aussie) market Ford Escort MkI's drift like crazy, as do certain RWD Fiat sedans, from what I'm told.

Basically, wherever you find a manual transmission, RWD, and not too much grip, you find a decent drift car. It's all up to the driver after that.
