Anyone know if there's anything different drifting a MR compared to a FR? I've seen people drift MR2's and stuff, so its possible, but why don't you see more MR drifting?
Drifting a MR?

its called PMI.
Polar Moment of Inertia.
Given that the 'mass' of a MR vehicle is closer to the center of the car, unlike a RF or RR, i makes the car harder to rotate around the center axis of the car. Think of spinning a stick with a 1 lb weight at the center like a propeller. Now put 1/2 lb at the far ends of the same stick and spin it....
It just makes the on-the-limit driving much more twitchy then a FR car. It can be done, but the factors involved for drifting are hard to apply to that drive train layout.
