I think there is a general misconception about the FR-S being 'tail happy'.

The FR-S has neutral balance when it approaches the limits of grip. This means in steady state cornering at the limit of the tire's grip, the car will neither oversteer, nor understeer. This neutral balance allows a driver to choose to oversteer and hold the car in an oversteer state. The neutral balance gives the car a large window where it can be controlled at the limit between cornering at full grip and completely losing grip from the tires.

When reviewers say the car is a good drift car, they probably mean it can be 'easily' controlled at its limits or in a drift as opposed to it having no grip at the rear end.

The S2000 was notorious for having a high tendency to oversteer but it was also more difficult to control at the limit. This is probably one of the big reasons you don't see many high level competition S2000 drift cars. Tail happy? Just a bit. Drift car? Not really.

Anyways, back to your FR-S. I'd say the best way to get sideways is to get the weight transfered to the outside of the car first with the tires loaded up and then give'r to get the back end out.

Just to cover my own butt. If something bad happens I cannot be held responsible for your actions.
