i am laughing at it hard! because i believe that you cannot "drift" a fwd car but watch out some people here think you can which is true to Technecally, they can but not in the proper sense, hrd to explain how to do it.basically there is a lot of variations catching on now.

Honestly, drifting is a stupid new fad that's catching on in the US.

drifting is bad ___... it's a little wet out right now so it'd probably be easier for you to try. you can't really "drift" around anywhere, it's hard to find a street that is going to be empty... faint drifting would be best to do instead of full on trying to whip your xb sideways. i've seen some videos of some dumbasses drifting when it was wet out in a corolla and slammed right into a curb and the back wheel was pretty much in the truck. gotta be careful when doing that ____. parking lots would be the best for practice late at night, you can practice around the parking slabs.

let me help my boy V i wasn't really drifting I know better. I actually was whipping the rear end out and holding it around a turn. I call it the art of a very tight turn or turning with style. lol Me and V were in an xB and I showed him how to turn with style in a way I can see how you can see it as drifting only thing its a front wheel drive car and I know that its more like sliding.

FF can't be drifted but it can defiinitely be powerslided!!!! Not much control in it but it's fun nonetheless.

As for the Taco Bell tray.....Eric M had a memorable video of his friend's old skool Corolla sliding around the parking lot.

That should have been archived

That guy was more like out of control sliding!!!!

I wish more people saw this guy.....2003 4 door civic and this guy was taking every turn late and turning on 3 wheels!!!! The 4th one was usually off the ground about close to a foot. It was funny because he pretty much mastered it by the end of the day. Talk about pushin it to the limits

In a FF it seems more of an assdrag than a powerslide.

I have an Option Video if you guys wanna see, with a segment called FF Drifting...the guy "drifts" his EF hatch around a tight road course.

Bottom line is, FF "drifting" is possible, but it's not usually what most people consider TRUE drifting, because that evolved from the FR format of cars.

And if you think about it, even in a FR vehicle, if you asked a normal person that saw/rode in a vehicle that was 'drifting' what they saw/felt, they would say, "Dude, the car was sliding like crazy"

You think a corolla with trays is funny....We got HAHAjoey's CRV and put that beast on Trays...talk about mad jdm...it burned holes in the trays within a mere seconds--but it was fun as hell while it lasted!!!
