is that game in the states? because he was driving on th right side of the road, and technically, the miata is the ideal drift car, rwd, lightweight, and it can be tuned to have quite a bit of power, especially if you put the 13btt in it.
Edit:I love what they say when they get out of the car:"dude, this is gonna cost alot!" and "the lights damaged", no shit, they surley havent seen the drift bible, it says to pull the handbrake when you understeer, and thats all they ever did.
