It's not easy to set up a drift car, a lot needs to be considered, the Falken drift car had to replace its steering column for a toyota one for greater turning radius, that said it means it's physically harder to control a drift in our cars.

The major weight distribution issue also need to be addressed, the power to weight ratio of the drift cars are usually extremely high, (400hp in a 2200lb car)
In order to set that up, we not only need a TT but also need to shed close to 1000lbs.

After you do that, there is suspension setup, high spring rate and some pretty extreme rear cambers.

After you setup the car, you have to know how to use it.

Drift is much harder for beginners to participate than drag.
