in order of availability and ease to learn:

240sx(S14 im biased ) better balance then a s13 but s13's are just as good.
Miata = light, quick, and easy to drive

I'd start with one of those 3 first!

THIS.



I used my GFs avenger and the rain. Not smart. doesnt have the power to pull you out of the corners

They taught a "blind" man to drift a 370Z on the new american top gear so i think just about any car would do.

Its not hard to drift, rip the e brake!


Now not running into chit is the hard part

I am going recommend something different because it was my first vehicle and I loved it. A Mazda RX-7 FC. There is something about the 240SX guys that bothers me
