The next feature car is perhaps the most popular and common drift car. It is the Nissan 240sx(US) / Silvia(Japan). The 240sx has 3 different generations. The first gen. is 1989-1994. This is the "S13" chassis. From 1995-1998 is the "S14" chassis. And the latest model found only in Japan is the "S15" chassis. It is an ideal platform for a drift car because of its basic front engine rear-wheel drive layout. It is also a light car and easy to control. Some models even come with a limited slip differential which is essential for a drift car. Also, this is a very popular car to perform "JDM conversions" on. I will go into more detail about what this means in my next post because it is a major part of drift culture.
