Drove it before. Fun car for Drifting. Can drift just about anywhere anytime, meaning very easy to oversteer and if cant control will lead to a crash. Anyway, watever it is... Dun buy my old car. Heard the it had 2 major accident after I sold it, and had 5 minor accidents when I was driving it. Think the car a bit bad luck. So if you wanna know the vehicle number of my old car, PM me.

okay. so RWD cars tend to oversteer? what does oversteer means? sorry, a noob here.

[Porker]

Means its easier to turn more compared to a front wheel driven car. The tail will slide out as well due to it being RWD. Be careful

=====================================

 

I have been driving a RWD car for over 10 yrs and it has never once oversteered.

Driven the S13 before. But if you're new to such cars ... and you be your judge of your driving skills, I suggest you do not get it. And if you don't know what oversteer means, well that worries me even more, cos it shows that you are rather new to such characteristics of these vehicles.

 

The S13 is a rather light vehicle and it has alot of its weight at the front with its engine sitting too far front if I may say so. This makes the S13 oversteer(tail out) easily. Travelling at a high speed, the S13 does not have differentials you see on most performance vehicles you find on the roads nowadays and this causes it to be rather unstable at the slightest turns (again, at high speeds).

 

But with all that said, it makes a splendid drift car! Fling it round the bend (at the track please) and you'd be smiling from ear to ear. (But last statement: If you're new, don't get it)

bro u mean the tail will slide out when cornering and accelerating hard? or just normal cornering without accelerating? i know that RWD car's can drift easily cos when the driver accelerates hard round a bend, causing wheelspin and therefore losing traction..

Everyone has their 1st times...so how does an experienced RWD driver ever become 1? Drive what car?

[Super4]

Fendi, Yeah...there's always a first time to everything.

Hello

 

Its a very gd drifter as some bros already addressed. But do be careful as it sways very - very easily.

 

I tried the S13 before....as well as the S14. Both drives abt the same tho the latter has a little more punch due to bigger capacity.

 

You'll get the hang of it after a while but on wet days do be extra-extra careful.

 

There are couple of tricks to tweak the car for better handling....pm me if you need more info. Setting up the car right will greatly enhance its performance and handling....needless to say safety...

Yep. Not only the weight distribution, the body is long and narrow.

[Silver_z]

I think the S14 isn't as bad as the S13.

[Silver_z]

Non-TC RWD, is my recommendation.

[Mtang36]

Yea ... true. Hopefully get something newer? Or hopefully the auto for starters? But then again, sometimes you just have to go try it. Or maybe he can do abit more read-ups or watch some educational videos first? Just my 2cents.

[Ah_benz]

okay. until now still can't find any unit for sale. so limited.
