Inherent instability is not at all what you want in a drift car, ask anyone who has tryed to drift an MR2. A bit more weight in front is a good thing as it helps you recover from the slide. Otherwise the car tends to just spin - something early 911s were famous for.

Yeah, that's why tail happy cars like Camaros and Vipers aren't exactly good drifters.

so, is it better to have 50/50 weight, slightly more in the back, or slightly front-heavy? for drifting, that is

Well actually a Camaro can do pretty well as shown by "CrazyHawaiian" on Club4AG - it isn't the tailhappiness that's the problem, it's the rear-biased weight distribution that can jump up and bite you.

Top drifters use cars with excellent suspension and good tires. They need to be able to have full control when exiting a high speed manuver.
