tell that to all the track based 86platforms with forced induction. its designed to be an entry level track car(just like a miata; lightweight, ultra-low COG, manual, rwd). the reason it drifts easily in stock form is because of the low-resistance michelin primacy's that are on the car to give it a higher mpg rating for your average consumer. 
 put the right tires on it and more power(if you want) and its an excellent track car.

lots of enthusiasts in the car group in my old town would just buy these things used from auction because they had body damage or had been repo'd, then LS swap them and fix them up. replace all the suspension and wheels, etc. great little cars. the new miata's are too 'nice' to buy only to just rip apart, so these are basically the best platform to build a custom car from these days.
