Next find a place to practice Drifting

Bondurant in Phoenix offers Drifting Schools also
Have you actually fit 16" wheels on an S? They never came with anything smaller than 17"s

If you watch Top Gear they do a hell of a lot of drifting during the sexy shots with tires smoking in slow motion and graduated tabacco filter skys.

That being said you never see "The Stig" doing that getting around the track as fast as possible.

In the Cockster video, Jeremy does some pretty nice drifting at 2:20 of the video, granted it is wet in the film.

I for one, am not a drifting fan, I am too old and tires are too expensive.

But it makes for good TV.

PASM wasn't offered until 05. PSM was offered as an option on pre 2005 models so a few don't have it, but most do. My 2003 S doesn't have any kind of stability/traction control stuff.
