No, not exactly you need skill for both traits its easier to break traction with more torque not easier to drift .
Key point : Throttle Control.
Little misunderstanding?
No that's actually my point, It is easier to break traction with more torque, that's why driving schools start you off with less.(Lots of power+new driver+trying to go sideways, usually does not end pretty)It is easier to initiate with torque, but schools use less powerful cars to promote the use of weight balance, momentum, etc.
If you're handed say... the Mopar Viper, and a 240sx, you're going to have more confidence that you can drift the Viper just by hitting the gas, this often leads to user error because the driver is not used to being sideways with so much power. But a platform like the 240 gets you comfortable with car control first, not just throttle control.
