Drifting is not about just power.Drifting is a combination of Speed and Power.To answer your question N/A fc's drift great. Just stay clear of super wide sticky tires.Stock 205 or 215 tire width will get the job done.They are also great to learn to drift in.As said before it will greatly increase your skills.

its not just about making the rear tires spin, you need the car to glide smoothly. fc's cannot do that stock

You talk as if that is Fact.Maybe you could not do it in a stock fc that does not mean that no one can.. I have been in a few different bone stock Fc's that could drift very well. It's all in the driver not the car.Is it the best drift car stock probly not.



Things you may want to look into to make it better are DTSS Toe eliminator bushings, adjustable toe links factory service manual calls them Lateral links. Those 2 things will make the rear much more predictable.You can get endless parts to make the fc drift better.A stock N/A fc may not be the best drift car but it can drift.Even better with some parts..I assume you own an nissan that is my only guess as to why you would think every other car cannot drift smoothly even though stock it has as many bad features as any other stock car..
