Burnouts, especially the real smokey ones do NOT require much horsepower or torque, once that tire is spinning it doesn't take much at all to keep it spinning. As long as the brakes on the none spinning end of the vehicle hold while the tires are free to spin, it can and will spin if desired till it blows.
As far as drifting with these front wheel drive car they are using the parking brake to cause the rear end to slide out.
It's nothing like power drifting the driving tires out, as many learned to do with rear wheel drive vehicles in snow.
They are just driving into a corner and locking ip the rear wheels so as to lose traction, by varying the braking they can vary the rear drift on a front wheel drive car.
