eh... it depends on what form of "drifting" you're talking about. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but FWD cannot technically follow a drift course the same as a RWD car can simply because the laws of physics do not allow it to do so.

There is a completely different behavior to how a rear wheel drive and front wheel drive car behave at the limit of adhesion. During a RWD drift the car is being continually balanced through the entirety of the corner by a series of carefully executed wheel movements and throttle placement, where as a FWD is basically dragging it's ass through the corner and the minute the throttle is planted, and rear traction is regained in the FWD, it will return back to it's natural understeering behavior.

Can a front wheel drive car go through a series of corners sideways? Why yes it can. Does it take any skill or effort to slide a front wheel drive car through a corner? Not really, all it takes is a basic understand of how various automotive platforms behave under different circumstances. A driver in a FWD and a RWD version of the same car go into a corner, who is going to go faster during their "drift"? The driver of the RWD car is because while he is experiencing a loss of traction at the rear, he is still accelerating according to what the car will let him do...

bah I'm piss drunk and this is hard to explain...
take a RWD car and a FWD car into a wet parking lot and tell me which is more fun to drive, and which is more challenging. The RWD car will be, unless your a fan of understeer.

we'll discuss this tomorrow, good sir.
