You have to start the counter steer sooner with the mid engines. Thats how it was when I drove my buddies 4agze mr2 in Vermont, it's alot "snappyer" than my convertible.

Extremely smooth, fast, but precise inputs. The bad thing about most midengine cars for drifting is they are also usually short wheelbase. Long wheelbase midengine works fine, but not many LWB MR cars exist LWB = 105inch+ in my book.
