    OK Estis is right with his arguement but at the same time who can really say that FWD drifting isn't really drifing thats just like saying i take Weigh as my protein instead of eating lots of protein from food sources there is no correctly right way of building up your protein intake!

    So with drifting as Estis said RWD cars the Rear wheels are pushing the car and the Front wheels are steering which is looked at as the politically correct way in the drift world to most.

    And in a FWD car the the Fronts are pulling and steering and the Rear Wheels are used to turn the vehicle by using the E-brake! And in a Fwd you have to use the speed of the car to keep you going through the turn nicely because if you throttle the car will either keep going in the direction the Front wheels are angle to which is mostly likely in a ditch for some of us or the car will correct itself!

    This is all physics! I Consider drifting to be Angling yourself into a corner while keeping somewhat of the same speed as you entered the corner in, while still thottling! I say that FWD drifting is power sliding-which to me means that you build up lots of speed and enter the turn not accelerating but using the speed that you built up to get you through the turn or corner!

    So FWD is drifting but not look at as drifing because they don't follow the guidelines or scene! Eitherway this can be discussed and debated on for hours and hours! LOL! I have all day i can't even explain the physics part of it if needed!
