I live in Calgary. I have a Toyota Tercel. Whenever there's ice (Pretty much all winter long) on the road, I drift everywhere, and it looks exactly like the video.

Drifting i s an art. Its not just out of control sliding around. You must completely understand a car's dynamics in order to drift, Weight distribution, heel, toe, minimizing countersteering are just the begining in understand how to drift. If you guys are really into drifting search for a DVD called "Best Motoring's Drift Bible" its a step by step on how to drift with Keiichi Tsuchiya, also know as the Drift King. You can drift in any car (except FWD) and you only need around 130 hp to do it.

You should just have a gun that pops out of the headlights and squirts an oil slick out onto the road. Way cooler.

All wheel drive cars cant drift. Well they can but its nothing like the video Viper posted. Awd cars can only do, All wheel drifts and they look a bit diffrent then the drift of a FR car.

For all wheel dive cars to drift you actually have to have allot of power unlike a FR car. AWD cars have to enter a corner much faster then a FR car and they drift a bit late in the Apex of the corner. So chances are Goku you just did a power slide and not a drift.

yes you can powerslide in the rain quite easily. But I know you cant drift.

BTW: Drifting is nt just for jap cars, GM and Chrysler are in the drift game now with sponsored cars, their viper and GTO drfit cars have entered many D1 competitions
