10. Dodge Challenger
The Dodge Challenger may be heavy, but it’s one of the most powerful rear-wheel-drive sports cars that you can get your hands on, especially if you grab yourself a Hellcat model. Besides, what’s more entertaining than a Dodge Challenger Donk sporting 24- and 26-inch wheels doing donuts?
9. Chevrolet Camaro
Like the Challenger, the Chevrolet Camaro is another formidable American sports car to enjoy doing donuts in. You don’t even need the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1 to have fun, as the above video proves that the SS is more than enough.
8. Ford Mustang
Truth be told, there isn’t much separating the Challenger, Camaro and Mustang when it comes to doing donuts. But the reason why we chose the Ford Mustang to rank ahead of the other two is simply because even when you’re running from the cops, the Mustang has time to take a break and rip some donuts.
7. Porsche 911
If we’re being honest, any Porsche model is fun to do burnouts in: Cayman, Boxster, whatever. But the 911 is the most popular model out there and it’s no secret that they’re some of the best to drive as well. And don’t think they’re too high-brow to have some old fashioned fun. Just check out this Porsche 997 GT3 doing donuts!
6. Any of these 75 Cars Doing Donuts for a World Record!
We’re well aware that this isn’t a single car. But how could we possibly do a list of the best cars to do donuts in without tossing in a video of the Guinness World Record for 75 cars simultaneously doing donuts? You can pick your own out of the lot here!
5. Lamborghini Gallardo
It’s probably not at the very top of the list for things to do in a Lamborghini Gallardo, but after seeing a Lamborghini Gallardo police car doing donuts, we can’t help but imagine how much fun it would be. Especially if you’re an officer of the law and don’t have to worry about getting in trouble.
4. Jaguar F-Type
There’s a reason why the Jaguar F-Type is a favorite among luxury sports car shoppers. It’s such a brilliant machine that even Top Gear‘s the Stig has a blast doing donuts in it.
3. Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S / Toyota 86
When the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S first debuted, it heralded the return of an affordable, fun-to-drive, rear-wheel-drive sports car. Now it’s known as the Toyota 86 but the recipe remains the same. It’s lightweight and handles well, proving that you don’t need to have a ton of power to go in circles.
2. BMW M2
If you feel like BMW has been diluting its M performance sub-brand with the current M3, M4, M5 and M6 models, then take a closer look at the BMW M2. The aggressively styled coupe has everything you would want from an M model and more. Just look at how smoothly it’s ripping those donuts!
1. Mazda MX-5 Miata
The Mazda MX-5 Miata has stood the test of time and the latest model is the best yet. But the reason why it’s at our top spot is because of the above video. Yes, that’s a Mazda MX-5 Miata doing donuts in the middle of a crowded street during an anti-Trump protest. Ladies and gentlemen, a Presidential candidate made a Miata owner do donuts.
