Funny you should mention that. A mate of mine recently bought an old MX-5 as a toy and to take on drift days etc. It has an LSD fitted and rather crappy tyres, I took it for a spin and what a hoot to drive! You can get the back end out with very little effort, at low speeds, and it's very easy to control. Feels a bit like a slow motion version of the back end stepping out on the Z.
This topic reminds me of a Chris Harris video where he put four space saver wheels on an AMG Mercedes then drifted it around a track! Extreme example, but he was proving the point of how less can be more where driving enjoyment is concerned.
