Its called a Hachi Roku because AE86 is the body style designation assigned by Toyota, *not* the year of the car. It was on the market between 1984-1987. And you call yourself "Driftkid". Need to study up on your history.
As far as the S2K being a good drift car I'd have to say no - at least not in its stock form. Like anything else, if you pour enough money into it you can make it what you want, but there are far better platforms to start from. The two best choices being the AE86 or the 240SX. Cheap, readily available (but becoming less so with the growing popularity of drifting) and with plenty of tuners in Japan (and now the US) having laid the groundwork for just about anything anyone would want do with either car, little experimentation is needed to modify the car - in all likliehood someone's already done it and can show or tell you how.
AEM currently sponsors an S2000 on the D1 drift circuit, driven (I think) by Stephen Papadakis.
