GTA 5: Top 10 Cars That NEED the Drift Tuning Upgrade!

[@walangaccount8984]

RT3000 comes to mind when drifting but sadly forgotten.

[@Monumental_W]

Or the Mitsubishi eclipse gt looking car

[@brandonbothma152]

Rrrrrrriiiigggghhttt face palm for rockstar

[@nonamesixx]

tbh i don't understand why they haven't given us drag vehicles yet, they've done all this for drift car and i'm sure drag racing would be just as popular. Shit it used to be back in the day. All they'd have to do is add some sort drag tires and gives us a form of nitrous and id be happy.

[@_ybabruh]

I think drifting got attention because it already had a community, as well as the fact that randomly drifting with someone in freemode is a lot more likely than randomly drag racing someone.

[@Jabvi]

They are adding drag races with this update at some point

[@sirpepperoni]

There are drag races coming with manual transmissions according to leaks... hopefully R* keep looking at what's keeping gta online alive and give us manual transmissions with drifting 🤞

[@_mylastname]

There's already nitrous bottle in the interior too

[@WoodsDaily420]

​@yaboiaaron89 drag races go down at LSIA all day everyday in freemode. Tbh drag racing is pretty good as it Is right now. The community is small but we all agree wheelie methods and stuff is perfect. Now what we do agree on is YES WE NEED NITROUS. Nitrous would spice up the drag racing to new heights. We already have 8 second passes imagine the times with nitrous in the mix!

[@Cat_With_The_Gat]

They added Low Grip tires for only a handful of cars at first before allowing you to add them to everything. Im really hoping they follow the same pattern with the drift tuning, i dont see why not. My top cars to be added are the Cypher, the Widebody Sentinel, Karin Sultan RS, and the Elegy Retro custom🤙🏿

[@zerosd15ds43]

Using mods in single player, i found that the drift tuning is actually a 2nd separate car from the one without drift handling. Meaning there are 2 cars in the game files, one with vanilla handling,and one with dirft handling. That would also mean more drift cars woukd immensely increase the game size.

[@sxckqerz]

the s2000, kuruma, beater dukes, amg gt, schafter v12, zion, huracan, club, cheburek would also be pretty nice drift cars

[@CturiX.IREALLY]

Im pretty keen for some kind of community vote to see what cars come available in waves. Im 100% on the suggestion for the Nebula, even though it works surprisingly well with what it can use

[@akdalton8581]

Been hitting the mountain touge in upgraded cars with snow on the road is so butter.

[@Volk_]

I think GTA vi will have body shops for each style. Donks, drifting, drag racing, lowriders, stance, etc At least that's what vibe I got from the trailer

[@StevieWunderKid]

Definitely agree with you.

[@mennyg3449]

that's possible i think considering we already got that kind of option in San Andreas

[@Volk_]

@@mennyg3449 yes but I'm thinking it might be similar to the crew in the way you can select a discipline for each motorvehicle

[@jguitaravenue]

They should also add it to the youga van :D. People in Japan actually drift those old dodge vans

[@kojumbus58]

Honestly I wish we got a few muscle cars or "sleeper" sedans like Stainer or Impaler ZX thats about to come at some point. It would be fun to see some Sabre and Tulip sideways action or a gang of slammed sleeper sedans dominating the drift spots

[@StevieWunderKid]

Definitely true, would be cool to have some of the older muscle cars like the Dominator GTT get a bit more love!

[@WoodsDaily420]

Yep. Intruder, jugular, sultan, sultan classic

[@theinkysquid7661]

The Karin intruder is the one I’m waiting for

[@zerosd15ds43]

The problem with the drift tuning is that it's not an actual upgrade like in ls customs, it's a 2nd car in the game files that has drift handling. That's probably why it's just 8 for now. That also means more would duplicate the cars and make the game bigger.

[@WoodsDaily420]

@@zerosd15ds43 I personally think they'll add drift tuning to all of the various cars you see as spectators in the drift races

[@dev-9962]

Happy holidays SWK! ❤

[@StevieWunderKid]

You too man, Merry Christmas!

[@Mittshu]

I can't fault anything BUT I would also add Karin Intruder or simply to create a new Karin Intruder or a car resembling the Toyota Chaser JZX100 in the future DLC

[@myst3rixusl3ftb3hind]

Bro I want a updated Toyota chaser with more customization and drift tune as well 😎

[@StevieWunderKid]

Definitely would be cool to see, since the Intruder is mainly based off of an Infiniti Q45 it would be nice to have something closer to a JZX.

[@Cat_With_The_Gat]

This guy fuckin gets it👌🏿

[@termal89]

Ye all of those cars need to be added

[@k2cloudy215]

I was waiting for you to mention the Sentinel XS, the e92 is a perfect platform for drifting

[@Cat_With_The_Gat]

I was thinking the Cypher would be dope

[@saisuntar]

I hope rockstar will see this video... also need more cars in drift tune... * Dinka RT3000 * Annis Savestra * RS classic coupe * Obey Omnis

[@h1igamer]

Great list and awesome video!

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thanks man!

[@stalwartzero7001]

Since they’re charging 200k for it they really have no reason not to just let it loose

[@TopSecretR35]

Hello SWK, great video! 👍

[@StevieWunderKid]

Thank you man, Merry Christmas!

[@aras1875]

Why is this so true 😢

[@JakeOakley1991]

I could take it or leave it for a few of these, but overall, a wider variety of Drift Tunable vehicles with Drift Pedigree would be amazing, given the overall positive opinion within the community.

[@StevieWunderKid]

I agree, would be easy enough for Rockstar to add and would help breathe some life back into the drifting community!

[@JakeOakley1991]

@@StevieWunderKid True enough, plus jist adding more variety itself couldn't hurt.

[@SatongiFilms]

Drift upgrade uses an entirely different 3d car model and meta files for the car, hence why they didn't add many of them (or all of them). It is unlikely that they will add much more of them in the future (as long as GTAO continues to be supported)

[@StevieWunderKid]

It uses a different model, yeah, but it's just a copy of the original with the altered metadata. It's the exact same thing as any other DLC vehicle, but it's probably way easier to make since the only thing that changes is the handling, not the geometry. And also, the metadata itself seems to be pretty similar among all cars with the drift tuning upgrade, so the handling is probably another copy-paste operation too. You're making it out to be waaaaaay more complex than it is actually is lol. While Rockstar probably won't make it available for every single car in the game, I really don't see any issues with them expanding it to at least a few more cars. Like they've added hundreds of entirely new DLC vehicles to the game over the years and that hasn't been an issue.

[@CturiX.IREALLY]

It would most likely be because of of how each cars' stats would be altered and allocated. As rockstar is notorious for not patching old content (eight years for wheels, ten years for interaction menu, etc), i cant imagine this will take place of low grip tyres and they will fade into obscurity.

[@zerosd15ds43]

@@StevieWunderKid no, he's not. Check the car files and you'll see. Even try to spawn it in single player. Every car has one car file, no matter what you do, except for these 8 cars. They are literally 16 car files for 16 separate cars. You can spawn a non drift and a drift version of the car. That affects none of the other cars.

[@perinaldo69]

Absolutely perfect list of choices. Well done 👍 great video

[@phonkydude1618]

This video makes so much sense

[@StevieWunderKid]

Hahaha thanks for watching man!

[@pigi_sw5972]

i mean, those cars are the correspondings to Supra ('93), GT-R34, Mitsubishi Evo, MX-5, etc... how come they can't drift, when those cars are literally drifting icons 😵

[@StevieWunderKid]

Rockstar logic at it's finest haha, here's hoping they add them soon!

[@trixpinn4394]

I wanna see some 4 doors with the drift tuning such as the warrener and intruder we already got a truck why not some sedan's

[@GeauxPatGeaux_]

Definitely need the Intruder added to the drift tuning list!

[@Slaikkarinaj]

I wanted sedans and saloons. Like Stratum and the new BMW saloon. For 4 doors I'd like to see Kuruma, Buffalo STX and the Lada.

[@tovape]

Nailed the list, banshee, sultan and elegy is a must

[@chillyman7340]

The only issue I have with the drift tune, is the fact that the cars have to be 4x4 now, the issue with 4x4 is you get under and over steer so you can never really drift properly and with the toy car physics of the game it doesn't help the cars keep angle and on snow they slid all over the place lol, great video though man :)

[@StevieWunderKid]

I think you're making it out to be way worse than it actually is - while there is some tendency to slide all over the place, the fact that the AWD is only a 10-20 / 80-90 split makes it pretty manageable. I've been able to hold lots of angle, even in snow. Thanks for watching regardless!

[@MaxTheMarco]

Love all cars from your list that should have drift mode.. :)

[@StevieWunderKid]

Glad you agreed with them! Here's hoping the summer DLC brings some of the ones we want!

[@GeauxPatGeaux_]

The Karin Intruder would be awesome to see get the upgrade! Still missing the Feroci from GTA IV as well.

[@StevieWunderKid]

Dude I completely forgot about the Feroci, would be amazing if Rockstar finally added that!

[@cxnnxrvan]

They need the skyline bro

[@cassiusshaw8240]

i think the ability to have your car a little more lower would be good for drifting tuning, as well as adjusting your chassis/wheel track would be cool

[@KitchSquish]

Id love to see drift tuning on the following: Kuruma Vigero ZX 300R Jester 10F/widebody Ruiner ZZ8 both Go-Karts Glendale Custom Zion Classic Nebula Turbo Issi Sport (I wouldn't own this otherwise) 8F Drafter Primo Custom Blista Dashound bus (because why not) Ingot F620 (it has an amazing exhaust note)

[@FauxWock]

Dawg, I lowkey was gonna make this same video for my first KZbin video and Im lowkey sad ive been lacking on making it. Seeing you post the same idea of content, makes me regret not doing it sooner, but also assures me it was a good video idea.

[@StevieWunderKid]

Just because I did it first doesn't mean you can't too my dude! People take inspiration for video ideas all the time - so long as it's not a direct copy and it's got your own opinions / original content it's totally fine!

[@FauxWock]

@@StevieWunderKid aye its funny cuz my list of vehicles was very identical, except for the Banshee 900R lol. Anyway, thanks for motivation, and response, I appreciate it. Merry Chrimus!

[@xXlNesTlXx]

All cars inspired in Ken Block cars, should be updated with drifting modifications

[@StevieWunderKid]

Definitely agree!

[@jguitaravenue]

Man what I would give to have your drifting skills... I keep trying and trying but for some reason I'm totally useless with low grip tires as well as the drift tuning. Can't even drive straight let alone drift a corner hahaha

[@rupertbulled9499]

Let’s go they actually added the nebula turbo and sentinel classic wodebody

[@_mylastname]

Nightshade!! And i completely agree with you on the GTT! and Flash GT👍

[@sirpepperoni]

You're on point for what we are hoping for... besides manual transmission. There has been leaks of manual transmission and drag racing in gta online... so 🤞 R* look at our comments!

[@StevieWunderKid]

The manual transmission is only specific to those new drag races, it won't be available for freemode or any other race type (as far as we know now). But yeah, having that option available for drifting would be incredible!

[@merlin3921]

What's the mid-drive speed boost? That's not like the speed boost on the vigilante is it?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Nah, it's not. It's basically a gearing bug that acts almost like a clutch kick in an IRL drift car, giving you a brief boost in torque to link together longer drifts.

[@705tv]

I agree with everything in that list !!! Lol 🔥

[@StevieWunderKid]

Here's hoping Rockstar gives us what we want haha, thanks for watching!

[@xvii7718]

Question why does no one drift the jester rr with the new drift tuning? Things so good some guy just let me drive his and was nice af

[@zombiejezus18]

I think the Dinka blista kanjo should receive the drift tune as well that car and the sultan RS would be my favorites

[@StevieWunderKid]

The Kanjo's an interesting choice, but I highly doubt that since the car really hasn't ever been used for drifting IRL. The Sultan RS I definitely agree with though.

[@Bikers_fault]

I wish they made a nakmura livery for the s13

[@merlin3921]

Dude, where is that garage that you're in with the built-in track?

[@StevieWunderKid]

That's the test track in the LS Car Meet!

[@mz-star2739]

how can you get the elegy retro custom after they removed it from bennys

[@StevieWunderKid]

It was never removed... you've always had to take a normal Elegy RH8 over and do the upgrade.

[@_EGROEG]

the comet s2 should get this upgrade

[@StevieWunderKid]

That would be sick too!

[@volti3702]

Don't worry Rockstar will add it as it was with low grip tires. Before tires was only for some cars modders could apply them to every car and the same happend now. My friend using popular menu and he have ability to add drift tune to every car.

[@StevieWunderKid]

The Drift Tuning can't be applied to every car currently, as it's a unique upgrade that completely swaps out the existing vehicle model for another one with all of the drifting attributes - therefore, getting a 1-to-1 copy of the drift tuning with mods would be very hard to do.

[@volti3702]

@@StevieWunderKid yea that is true but i think they will do it even when it is changing vehicle model

[@tripitv4192]

Sultan with Tokio drift livery but not drift upgrade 😂 good job as always rockstar 😂. Good list dude. BMW M3/sentinel xs and BMW m2/cypher and list is almoust complete :)

[@StevieWunderKid]

What do you mean about updating the tuner cars?

[@itsmikeymedia]

@@StevieWunderKid the cars that are selected to be “tuner” cars and “drift” cars have been the same since release. The tuner races and drift races could use an update for what cars can be used within the races

[@gamerboynyc]

The Stainer. It needs more love. People love to drift the Crown Vic. They need to update the Stainer.

[@StevieWunderKid]

Maybe, given that it's not a very popular car (both for drifting IRL and in GTA) I'm not sure it will get the upgrade - still a cool idea though!

[@thomasrocchi2990]

why would they add drift tune to some of these AWD cars?

[@StevieWunderKid]

Why wouldn't they? Whatever drivetrain the car had before the upgrade wouldn't matter at all - they added drift tuning to the Drift Tampa which was AWD, no major reason why they wouldn't add it to others...

[@thomasrocchi2990]

if you put it lke that ig u right@@StevieWunderKid

[@Cartman4wesome]

They should also add my personal favorites the Warrener, Rapid GT, Gauntlet, and Vigero. The Vigero was the first car I learned to drift with back in the early days and still holds a special place in my heart.

Stevie! No car in this game feel or sound like the real life cars at all!! Some cars are mix with others cars idk why lol.

[@StevieWunderKid]

There's a lot going on under the hood that would make it hard to apply those kinds of upgrades to every single car, but there's no doubt Rockstar should make them available for more cars than what exists currently.

[@d_artcrayz]

Soon enough there will be a drift tune merge I keep searching KZbin every now n then. It’s soon to come. Watch😌

[@StevieWunderKid]

Merging the upgrade isn't possible, since the drift tuning converts the car to a separate car model with the drift attributes. The drift tuning isn't something added on top of the car, it's a conversion to another model - therefore merging is impossible.

The drift update is weird. No one drifts that slowly irl, cant even go a decenr speed with it

[@StevieWunderKid]

I think the snow might be skewing things a little bit. The cars can drift both slow and fairly quickly, and I don't think the speed at which they drift is too far off from real life, either.

[@michelangelo5903]

i don’t think they will add more drift tune-able cars. i just have that gut feeling.

[@Agherosh]

Am I the only one who can get the drift tuning for the Classic Elegy? Or did I install something else? Because HSW let's me put "Drift Tuning".

[@StevieWunderKid]

Yeah that's not real lol. The drift tuning basically converts your car to a different model with all of the drifting attributes, and since there's literally no file for a "Drift Elegy" in the game, applying the tuning to that car is impossible.
