Default Drifting the S2000

Hey, I couldn't help read the argument against williambjb in this forum and noted that some said the S2000 is not meant to drift.

Now, as a 19 year old (and sorrowfully as reckless or pobbily nearly as reckless as william) I hope this car has a few drifts in it that I can pop out on some safe and empty streets for drift enthusiasts (and possibly friends [I know, irresponsible]). However, I am wary that the back tires are wide and meant to really grip the road! so they must be difficult to break free and rather hard on the car when you do begin to spin them, yes?

I did just watch a video of a guy doing S2000 drifting in a parking lot (sounded like he had some mods too), making a full circle of drifting turn.

So, how hard is it on the car? Can the car do it without extensive damage to itself?

Oh and BTW, I'm trying not to be reckless and trying to take the advice of Hockey - I plan to do a track day soon after acquiring an S2000 (if indeed, the purchase I'm planning comes through) to learn to control skids, slides, corners, and braking.
