Would the X2010 make a good drifting car? Why or why not?

Way to much downforce. And trying to control a drift with the speed that thing goes around corners would be horrible. Get a viper srt10 if you want a powerful drifter
 
Can it drift? Yes.

Is it fun to drift? HELL NO! There's a razor's edge between drifting this car, and spinning like a damn top, or it snaps back in line because of downforce. It's mechanical grip is also astronimical with the comfort hard tires on (compaired to lesser cars)

Bottom line? It's a race car not something for you to pretend your Vin Diesel in. Now go back to Bennington and go steal some trays for your civic.
 
What about power? Torque?

It generates around 500 ft-lbs of torque (not sure of what RPM), thus the wheels doesn't rotate super quickly. And its power is around 1400-1500 HP, making it way too high for having drifting capabilities. The downforce is also too high, as it's typically used for grip racing rather than drift racing. You can still powerslide with it, but it isn't the same as drifting.

No it wouldn't. Simple reason is that it has pathetic amounts of downforce and power (Wouldn't work IRL). Also, touch the curbs with it while drifting and you're gone, since it loses downforce when you touch a raised curb
