Watching TechLive (TechTV's news show) when the idiot guy starts talking about how drifting is a controlled slide (so far so good), very entertaining to watch (check..), like a

car ballet (strange..but Check...) and done in FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CARS



i went off...I don't drift (look in my sig to see why), but I think it's damn kewl to watch, and you'd think they'd at least check their info...morons...



i'm done ranting, thanx :P

Yes it can be done in FF cars. Not by the "definition" of drift per say but I watched two Honda Civics at NIkko Circuit going crazy. They were in the Intermediate class and was doing the full firs and second corner and corner 4 the back corners are impossible to drift in a FF but the were making the ass hang in segments back there. It was entertaining and I got mad respect for those two guys. The cars were fast as hell too, blowing past a lots of hachi rokus.
