the power matters in relation to the cars weight. I dunno how much the newer mr2s weigh tho. I always thought the old box body mr2s would look neat drifting. The MR is a difficult setup but the difference you will experience is less use of the steering wheel because the weight transfer will get the job done. side to side inertia will build up very fast with much steering input resulting in spins and snapbacks. you may be able to help the problem with some sort of front ballast. Anything to weigh down that front end a little will help balance the slides. good luck
