We just got an announcement from Royal Purple about their involvement in Formula Drift as the official oil. Mazel tov all around.
The release features an E46-chassis BMW set up for drift. So that got us chatting: What is your favorite rear-drive chassis? Is the answer still Miata or is there something else?
E36/E46 BMW
Big enough for the whole family to enjoy drifting.
"Ahhhhhhh, daddy STOP! Dad, people are looking at us! Dad, do it again!)
Just curious, as someone who follows FD, who was the driver?
Miata is still up there, but I drove an MR-S at an autocross this summer and that thing really got in my head too.
In reply to NickD :
You know, the last MR2 is a car that often is overlooked.
Sw20 MR2.

Stevens Esprit.

Given the $38,000 one sold for on BAT yesterday, and I have two with less than 10k miles, since new, mint, market may be agreeing with me 
So far?
MGA. I can use up absolutely everything it has and still not go to jail.
ZB II 2008-2010 Viper. But I am highly biased.
Tony Kart 401.
For street use? C5/C6.
Apollo rockets.
86
S 197 mustang, better with a supercharger. Miata is really good as well.
Based on cars I've owned and/or driven extensively:
All of those are very neutral and forgiving on the limit.
G-body.

Winner.
Mazda rx8, specifically the shinkas. HorseE36 M3 engine but I've never felt a better chassis.
Never driven one, but a Locost. Everything about the chassis, looks, the bare bones nature of it appeals to me.
So far, my Boxster.
But the R6 powered FSAE car I drove some years ago was epic.
AE86 is my favorite. Both stock and highly modified they are a blast.
I learned to drift in the snow in one of these. So from a nostalgia trip point of view, it is the awesome-most RWD.
1957-1966 Imperial: Comfy, fast, and good looking. Either that or a Lotus 7 / Caterham.
Anything with the engine in the right place. That's "behind the driver", either side of the rear axle is acceptable for me. Specific placement depends on what exactly you want out of the car.
