you can drift any car.. lol it's just a good idea to make sure your car is built correctly for doing so.. i think it's mostly suspension work you need to be concerned about? i don't know though as i don't drift lol
yes it can be done , no you cant do it properly and safely
you need a very very stiff coilover setup , you need all the toms underbody braces and strut tower braces you need very rigid sways and you need in cabin bracing for rigidity
moreover you need more power to keep the sideways motion going like boost
you also need to have high perf tie rod ends with pillow ball mounts instead of rubber and ball and socket to maintain slip angles
in other words if you got the dough you can get it done without these items you are going to lose control and lose it adly for the gs is all over the place from the rear end

i honestly chose to go for vip to get away from the drift scene which is getting bigger. as for your question yes a gs300 is driftable however you will need somewhat of a stiff suspension to avoid body roll and if you were to do so i would suggest doing so in a rainy day because it will save you tire wear and you will be able to kick out easier. most drift cars are manual transmission so you can downshift and clutch kick to get that instant power. it is possible to drift with an automatic car but it most likely wont be a true drift.. more like a power slide.
