Anyway, a 240SX would be a good idea for a drift car, as would an RX-7. Both are lightweight, relatively plentiful, and somewhat inexpensive. IMO, the RX-7 has a better motor than the 240SX. Beyond that, the cars are almost identical in handling charactaristics.
Whatever you do, DON'T drift on the street like they do in Initial D. I've seen a lot of young kids get themselves killed because they thought they were real drifters. Get yourself a nice RX-7 or 240SX, and take it to an autocross or track day. You'll learn more about driving your car at these events than you would trying to teach yourself on the street. It's safer, more intelligent, and in the long run, cheaper. I say cheaper because if you crash while trying to learn on the street, it can cost a lot more than just money. I know you don't want to hear it, I know I didn't when I was younger, but trust me, this is how you should do it. I've lost a few friends to street racing, so I know a few things about it.

very true, i mean if u drift around a corner, what's there to guarantee people aren't crossing the street at the same time? or a car has stopped and pulled over for whatever reason? or a cop waiting for dangerous drivers to go by? what if u spin out and hit something or someone on the sidewalk?
lately, there have been more and more drifting events where you bring your car and pro drivers there give you tips and show you techniques and they probably have an xcross track setup on a parking lot for you to test what they just taught you.
or spend a few bucks and go on a track and try drifting there. like murc said, it's cheaper on the tracks cuz no amount of money will replace a human life
