It think, giving out my chassis number is a big foul to do.

From today 1345hrs, I am very happy and proud to say I am an S2000 owner.
The S2000 isn't all that easy to drift controllably. In a split second you'll be off the road. Best to book an airfield/track day and find out safely.
Coming front FWD I'm surprised you noticed any understeer! I had exactly the opposite experience. I found the steering too quick and had to learn how to get the feel of the steering. The reviews say the steering lacks feel and compared to some cars it does, but after a while you can extract a lot of information from the steering wheel. You'll need to master this and the throttle if you want to get the car drifting controllably.
Have a go on one of the Motorsport Events Acadamy Days. One of the things they do is a lift off oversteer session where you induce the back end into going light and stepping out (at about 65-70mph). You learn to catch it (easy) and control the snap back (difficult).
Have fun.

BTW. I live in MALTA and there are no tracks or air fields I can use. It will have to be midnight practice.
