As you can tell I like drifting. No way, I know. But seeing how most drift cars are RWD how easy or hard is it to drift a fwd nicely?

 

isn't drifting a fwd car not really drifting, just sliding?
like isn't it completely different?

honest questions

 

well i think they do actually have fwd drifting now like they set the car up so it gets ridiculous oversteer and somehow it works because the front wheels are spinning ro some **** like that

there are two ways you can truly initiate a fwd drift:

1) weight transfer drift
2) braking drift

both are extremely hard to actually initiate, and extremely hard to control compared to, say, a power-over drift. But yeah, technically you can drift a fwd (and yanking the parking brake and sliding isn't a drift)

 

weight transfer is that the scandinavian flick thing?

 

more or less... drifting around a right hand turn, you'd turn to the left slightly and then basically whip it to the right and let off the throttle to transfer the weight off the rear.

Then a braking drift is more or less the same thing, but using the brakes (not the parking brake) to lock up the rear wheels while initiating a weight transfer.

 

So your saying it can be done, but takes lots of practise.

 

pretty much... also, you need to remember that you're relying entirely on momentum to hold a drift... you can't keep up a drift indefinitely like you could theoretically do on a rwd car where you can accelerate through a drift.

 

Oh ok. Yea, i've drifted in a fwd van but im pretty sure it was because i stomped the gas in corners.

 

You can drift in a fwd car. My roommate owns a m3 (rwd) but I go out drifting with him all the time. The problem is fwd cars don't slide very well and they recover very quickly so you definitely need to take it out quiet a bit to get a hang of it but its fun stuff. I'd do it more often if I could afford the tires ^_^"
