As for drifting slowing you down on pavement, yes and no. If you can navigate a turn, while drifting, and keep your speed at - say - 80MPH, it's better than having to slow down, navigate the turn, and speed back up.

i am sorry but you are wrong. trust me, the fastest way around a turn is to maintain grip. when you drift you do not have traction, hence the drift, so this means you can not decelerate or accelerate. if drifting was the fastest way around the corner there would be no need for spoilers or wide tires. the idea behind both is the get as much grip as possible.
and by the way, i am not saying drifting is not cool. infact it is very entertaining to be racing and suddenly do a 360 after losing control in a turn. what i am saying is that it is not the fastest or the safest way around a turn.
