but then the front end probably wouldnt be good for steering huh.... hmmm, i dunno, i just wanted to know if this car would be good at drifting. if not, ill just keep this car as a driver, then get another car specifically for drifting.

i did something like that in a 911( the back end broke loose)and did a 720 in it

Well almost any rear wheel car can be drifted (the smart car can't be) it's all in skill. And ZZZZZZZ older 911's had problems for that.

These cars handling is amazing, to have the a$$ end bust out on you in a corner is as simple as having too heavy a foot. It is balanced really superb actually, add your amp rack etc. in the front trunk, perhaps even glass in a single 10" sub box up there as well. I had no issues with the back end not wanting to behave itself when asked to do so. It always came right back in line as well. The stock turbo is 200ft. lbs. torque as well as 200hp, so the thing has some attitude. Without breaking open the bottom end of the block, it is fairly easy to add some monster hp and tourque gains to this block.

Too much money to be worth it. I say keep it as a daily driver, and buy a 240sx. You can pick them up for fairly cheap, and you can drift with them basically stock.
Then you don't have your daily driver breaking down all the time too.
