Yea its possible all you have to do is pull the e-brake as you go around a corner and you back end whips around and you start sliding.

yea u have to have a moderatly good amount of speed 2 id say second gear like 25 mph then jus turn your wheel left/right, pull that ebrake and watch ur tail end go the opposite way that you turned ur wheel lol jus make sure you have a lot of space dont end up like that BMW idiot lol

***-dragging isnt really drifting. its fun if you do it right, in a controlled enviroment, but its not drifting. drifting involves using power to prolong the sideways motion, not just relying on momentum.
