well lets crunch numbers..you seem like a number kinda of guy
119hp 98 240sx AUTOMATIC will slide...
138hp mr2 5spd will slide..

hp really doesnt play too much in the ability to get the car to slide..you have to take driver ability to control the car and the platform..

mr is a rear engine rear wheel drive..very hard to keep in control due to the way the car handles..would i suggest it..hell yea..why the hell not its a rwd car..just do not expect to get a rwd car and be a master drifter cause that sure as hell will nothappend...and more likely then not you'll sell/wreck it before you get to go to your first event..make sure you get a nice one people may need parts off of it..
