Found this on the net......
for someone who knows nothing...he sure has lotsa stuff to say...
Hahaha......damn funny man....
"whoever said drifting can only be down with FR cars have no idea what they talking about....
any cars of any layouts can drift... only with different methods and they have different pros and cons...
some people mentioned about e-brake... and yes it works for all layouts also is easilest, safest.... and the SLOWEST....
and also.. drifting is not any slower than gripping...
if is a long and mild corner gripping is good, but if is sharp 90 degree turn or some consective corners... drifting is way faster than gripping... so smoother and longer curves, gripping is faster, but a shape and short turn like those U-shape or 90 degree hard curves in JAP or HK, drifting is always fastest.
somethings are most know for all kinds of cars to drift..
- best racing lines always give you highest speed through the corner no matter is a drift or just normal brake gripping
- unleast u know how or else don't try to do some advanced driftings like counter-drift (or whatever is called in english.. I will explain it below)
- is not important to have a high speed go through the corner, is more important to exit the corner so you can have a eariler speed up cuz u can't speed up while u drifting
- FR cars = easilest to drift and kills u fastest
- FF cars = hardest to drift but more stable
- AWD cars = best of all
and someone asked how to drift a AWD car... just to let you know... AWD cars are best to drift with no matter what kind of ground... if you know how then is possible. They are not faster than FR cars with drifts (assuming both car's driver knows what they doing and doing it right) but they are more stable and easiler to correct their traction if you mess up.
with AWD cars like Evo and STI (most common AWD cars uses to drift) speed up before the curve... down shift then step on the brake hard and cut the curve at the same time, when u line up with the exit direction of the curve (or when u feel ur car loss enough traction... for the pros.. ) counter-steel and push the gas mildy, (if u have a prefect raceline just floor the gas when u hit about 1/3 of a car space before the center point of the curve and you should be drifting along the curve and exit the curve smoothy) <-- if properly done... according to my own experience and the "OUT-IN-OUT" theory.. you should be about 3 car spaces ahead of another car who gripped that curve
and for counter-drifting or whatever is called in english... it is an advanced skills for seasoned drifters to exit the curve even faster to get a eariler straight line speed up (since u can't speed up while drifting). following the OUT-IN-OUT theory, when u perform a drift (let say is a right turn) you should be at the left lane then cut in the curve and when u exit the curve ur car should already slided to the left lane.. but for counter-drift, you keep right lane before u enter the curve, cut left and right after that, you right back right (into the curve) to allow a heavy force transfer and swings ur car into a sloper angle when u start to drift, since u entered the curve in a sloper angle, you will be able to see the point where u can do a straight line acceleration about 1 second eariler....
after all those bullsh*t I said above... let me sum it up.. all cars can drift, if u know how, gripping and drifting have their pros and cons and each of them are faster than the other depending on the curve... learning to drift is a good thing cuz is a GREAT SPORT (to me atleast), and also can get u kill very easily...
and most important.. you don't become a pro if u can drift fast, only if you drift safest but also able to go through the whole curve in shortest about of time which must have best racing line, fastest and earilest straight line acceleration. cuz if you don't have it safely... a miniual will be put in 5k-10k to fix the whole side of ur car's body and bumper, the max will be losing ur life.
my advice is learn drifting on a track with all kinds of "OLD" car...
once u knew which layout works best for you.. then foucs on it..
don't be like me... learn to drift with a STI.. cuz is a bad idea..
unleast you can afford crashing a such great car.. (is not a Evo 5/6/TME.. but is a A-Class car lol)
and yes i know my name is mis-spelled and my post also has alot of grammer problems... I know my english is bad, no need to say more"

Ya u can drift with an FF...... You can also drive with your leg, walk with your hand and use windows without a mouse......haha......geez
