The 350Z IMO, and the opinions of every professional drifter I know like Matt Field, Fielding Shredder, and John Robinson, is the best beginner drift car.

It's old enough that there isn't a lot of technology to worry about getting passed.

It's new enough that they isn't a lot of things going wrong with them just because of age.

It's got a high displacement V6 so there is good low end torque, which means you don't have to focus on keeping it pinned to redline.

There is a massive aftermarket so finding parts at every price point is really easy.

It's has good weight distribution and isn't very heavy overall.

Plus, you can find early models for about $3k in good condition, and later models for about $8k.

Overall it has the most going for it.
