drift or drag?

Im Going to get an s10 or sonoma in the next year and convert it to a v8 but i dont know wat i want to do from there. I can put some MT racing slicks and a roll cage and turn it into a dragster, but I love drifting and im thinking of making it a drifter. I know it would be hard but put a lsd and supension right. What are your thoughts, wat would all of u like to see.

Charlie_Chaos can only hope to improve
Your going to try to drift a S-10 ??? LMAO

Dude.... Way too front heavy with an 8 in the front.

Don't let people anywhere tell u what to do with your ride.

Make it your own .

If you wanna drive a Pink Sunfire do it.

If you want to put a 454 in a firefly do it.

If you listen to half the people here your gonna end up driving a Honda Bubble with a reactive Fart can and about 200 stickers and a Park bench commin off the back end.

Build your own ride and be proud of it.

Peace.

I have a 90 s10..drag it man. Go to the Canadian Truck Nationals next year and take a look at what people do. Not to copy..but to get you started. S10's are crazy with a 350 and fat tires on the back.

I would definately say drag it. I only say that because i think the the s10 would be a bad platform to start with. Yea sure get the V8 in there but alot of money will be going into suspension shortly after. A good drift car/truck is not so much about power, but about the balance and control of the car. Put that good old domestic where it should be! THE 1/4!
