They're so pretty though.

5lbs of dirt or 5lbs of stones.
If you are looking for a drift/track/street car...
Start with a budget. How much do you have, how much each month can you piss away.
Then look at what that buys you.
Then look at what excites you that you can buy.
If you are only looking at the mustang because of CARB compliance and purchase price, keep walking. Buy one because you want that Mustang life.
If you want a 240 and can do a swap but CARB has you down? Swap a CARB legal VQ35DE. 245whp stock, throw on a cat use the factory wiring and ECU.
There is a $500 adaptor that lets you bolt it to a KA transmission and the engine fits nicely. You can use a $300 Maxima engine and just get a Z intake manifold.
SC300, you can then mount a Z33 Trans to either the 2JZ or 1UZFE.
MK3 Supra. Replace the head studs and gasket and the 7MGTE is ready to party.
Bottom line. Fuck online opinions. Don't worry about bullshit drift bible garbage and the IS300 is narrower or the FC3S is short and twitchy or the S14 had more under steer then a S13 or a sunroof weights more. None of that crap matters. You can drift a Crown Victoria or a Tacoma if you want (and people have!)
If you love the car, you'll work on it, you'll drive it and you'll get good with it.
Don't worry about the technicalities.
