Mustangs are not for drifting.

Leave that to the Nissan.

A lowered Mustang with a plenty stiff rear sway bar should be able to drift with the best of them. I know nothing about the drifting sport, but I would fully expect that a car prepared as above with some hard rubber compound tires such as the Kumho Ecsta V tires that I have on my Vette would make one drift like you were on a frozen lake. I tried to Autocross my Vette with these tires and it was as if they had hosed down the course.

I didn't say that you couldn't drift in a Mustang, I said that's not what they are for.

FWD cars are better suited for that if your into that type of thing.

^^ Actually, RWD cars are the best for drifting. Thats why they use the Mustang, and some of the older Japanese cars since they are RWD also.
