Seems like all you need is some shoddy tires in the back

I could do that with the stock 245's and traction control off. I was surprised at the lack of traction in the rear with TC off on the stockers.

You'd be surprised how much better you can do that on AWD.... LOL, you might not be able to HOLD it as long, but you'll be able to do it

haha yeah i tried taking my buddies STI through streets of willow when i lived in cali since my 240 was down. it was definitely a no go lol

i wonder if i can somehow find/install a differential controller to put all the power or at least 90% to the rear.

Welp, you know what we all have to do now... We have to go out and drive recklessly, then blame it on Lexus for making that commercial JK, nice find!

Yup, I got no problem with power slides on the AWD, but I save them for winter... for the sake of the winter and power train. We have a roundabout in our neighbourhood and its really fun.... imagine my surprise when I tried it the first time and the stability control kicked in... im sitting there stopped perpendicular wondering why the gas pedal does nothing.
