Better make sure that you bring a RWD car. Never really tried full on drifiting in the Mustang, but it never seems to be trouble to get the back out on round abouts. Does a limited slip diff help car control once drifting?

I would imagine it does. Its not really going to happen properly with an open diff, an lsd will make it happen properly, and from what Ive heard, if you want good control and predictability, you would go for a welded diff which is also a cheap option! Not sure I would fancy it for day to day driving though....
