Nice pics. Perfect colors for halloween.
I think they did the Element up just to promote the new version and to give people ideas on what could be done (if you're crazy).
You'd be drifting and fighting a higher center of gravity in a larger somewhat heavier car even with more power.
That's like autocrossing in a Scion xB.

It's much easier to control a RWD and drift through a series of turns than with a FWD car.
AWD is also very good for drifting and LSD is essential.
