Trust me, once this car gets a good 75+whp/wtq it will drift like a boss. And even still with that amount of power it won't be enough for a full drift course, but it will be good enough for me. Personally I'd like to be able to slide at above 50mph.
Go read the latest issue of Top Gear magazine. Jeremy Clarkson seems to differ greatly with your opinion on this.

In the end this is just your opinion on the matter, and I don't mean to be rude, but it sounds like lack of understanding of drifting. Go talk to any AE86 driver that slides on sustained drifts. Their cars only make a fraction of the power of this car, and they drift just fine, even at higher speeds. The car just required understanding and tons of practice, but once you got it, you got it. This will be the same thing. It's the AE86 is still loved to this day.
