Default Sn95 as a drift car?

Hello, my son is interested with a drifting, so i want to make his Mustang ready for it untill he get his Driver License, so first i need to know, that its good idea to modify a 1998 Mustang for this type of driving?
Its an heavy car so...
Also i need to know something about suspension, what is good for drifting etc.
I hope you know something about it ;]
thnx

I don't think drifting is too popular on this site but, yea sure U can make a Stang a drift car! All U need is rear wheel drive & a lot of HP, and yea some specific suspension mods.

For drifting, longer wheelbase is better and easier to control. With that said Mustangs do not carry that trait but it can be done.

Tell him to grow up, stop watching Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift, and stop playing Need for Speed...

Sorry, but I have a deep hatred for drifting.

It started not because of game, but when his friend gave him to drive Subaru Impreza (After tuning ) on some empty parking lot...
Then he started to read about it in internet, watching movies How-To, and spending all days on youtube watching videos about it...
