all you need to drift an S is cheap tires.

Warning, once the rear end steps out on these short wheel based cars, you might not get it back.

Good luck.

A great little clip showing Kazama drifting a stock NC MX-5 (not a great car to drift). Rhys Millen and Ken Gushi failed to drift it well.

From this DVD:

It seems like Nissan made some of the most drift friendly cars out there. The current FM chassis that is being used for the 350Z and G35 has a light rear end that can get loose easily. My G35 sedan is pretty tail happy but very controllable.

I saw an Option article online somewhere that said getting an S2000 to drift isn't particularly hard. You just need the right suspension setup and alignment for the most part.

Who knew Bill Gates was a drift fan?
He should get an automatic Mustang GT.

Getting an S sidways isn't hard. it's just twitchy and either wants to go straight or turn. that's all.

I would rather do it on a 240 or SC300/400. just a lot easier.
