what ever you do get an N/A or TII with a LSD diff, N/A's are fun but won't have enough power to really throw the rear end out hard on a slower turn

Power isn't that important when it comes to developing skills. The less power you have, the more you have to overcome that with better skills. Practice is the most important thing you need. Have fun and keep it safe out there.

i'd say N/A because of throttle response. If you properly mod an N/A to get decent amount of power, you should be able to drift with it. I have a friend with a 88 GTU that drifts his FC all the time. Drifting isn't about the car's power or handling, its more about the driver's ability to properly drive and do it safely.
