My FR-S slides just as well on 18x8s running Hankook Ventus tires which have substantially more grip than the prius tires, and more HP to the wheels You do NOT need "crazy HP" or a turbo, so stop preaching about your lack of ability without power. That's your preference, and your style. It's not a requirement to drift. Many others have no issues drifting in this car, long sustained drifts too, by finding the balance points, and keeping speed.
The AE86 is FAMOUS for drifting and is 250% driftable at stock. Hell with just coilovers and an LSD you can drift it even better, no extra power required. This car is the same way.

You missed the part where I was referring to higher speed drifting. Neither 86's can hold a higher speed drift and continue to spin the tires with stock power. I also never said it needed crazy horsepower or anything, more power does help though; that's a given. If you don't believe that then you are sadly mistaken. I also never mentioned I was an expert on the subject anywhere.
Seems like you have a lot of bottled up anger from other people posting about how they need mass amounts of raw power to drift. I didn't mention that anywhere in my posts, only that I believe that it needs more. Personally I'll be running upwards of 300whp which is WAY MORE than enough for drifting. But drifting isn't the only thing I do with the car.
Your average Toyobaru driver isn't an expert drifter and might need more power to learn how to drift. Nobody is an pro right off the bat it balancing speed, power, body roll, suspension, etc etc.
Can we please keep the drift purist conversation out of this casual thread? There doesn't need to be any hating going on in here.
On a side note: I applaud you for drifting a 100hp vehicle with an open differential. That takes skill.
