Well, you would be wise to not try and drift your MR2....mid-engine cars are VERY prone to spinning out even with just some oversteer. Theres a reason all the best drifters in the world use a Front-engine/Rear-wheel-drive car configuration....

I own a 97 Z28 that I race the shit out of (not the pussy 1/4 mile), and I hang out with a bunch of 240sx guys. In other words....I hang with a bunch of drifters lol. For those who dont know, the 240sx is in like the top 2 or 3 choices of cars for drifters.

I do my share in my Camaro, and it is fun, but to be honest, I dont like tearing up my tires....

And now this is going to sound very asshole-ish, but I dont mean it like that.... I think the reason Muscle car guys race and 240sx (all amateur drifters in general) guys drift is because, for your average amateur driver/car owner, the Camaro is fast and the 240 is not. The 240 guy then naturally becomes interested in something his car is good at, like drifting, and not pure speed/power.

Just a thought...

PS: Drifting is NOT the fastest way around. Even a drifter will tell you that.
