Most drift cars are front engine RWD. The extra weight over the drive wheels and low moment of inertia of the mid-engined layout would make for a much less stable drift machine, I'd think.
People use the Miata and S2000 for drifting even though they have 50/50 weight distribution. I know there was a pro level Porsche 911 at one point. Those experiences would probably provide some good insight into the challenges of using platform that doesn't have a front weight bias.
