Tail happy?

I've owned my FRS for just over a week now.

Am I doing something wrong? This car has a reputation for being "dorifto" tailhappy and yet I had a much easier time getting my bone stock 1990 240sx to kick out it's rear end.

Even with all the nannies off (SHAME! BAD DRIVER, BAD!) in a "controlled" area, It's still difficult to get the car to oversteer - short of dumping the clutch or ripping the e-brake.

It almost feels like the traction and yaw control are never actually off. What's the trick? I can't even get it to kick out on wet round-a-bouts in second gear.

Before I get shit for being a wanna be drifter or something, this is my 11'th car in 12 years of driving. I don't think I'm a great driver, but I'm not bad either. I'm just surprised how composed this car is unless you REALLY push it.
