On snow, perhaps it’s more of a slide since I’m not very good. But I’m sure people can drift a FWD car somewhat as well if they know what they are doing. Still dont see what the difference in if your car was 5 speed or auto as your rear wheels are just being dragged, your only using the front wheel/power to keep the car moving… wouldent make a difference if it was 5 speed or auto… I can snow drift just as good in my auto contour as I could in my 5 speed g20 ---

lol. I realize RWD is the platform of choice for drifters (I never said it wasn’t), but if you’re telling me that you CAN NOT DRIFT A FWD CAR NO MATTER WHAT, I’m not buying it. I’m sure that dude in the video could drift my Maxima. And he said it himself, using the E-Brake is a form of drifting. Unfortunately, my 190hp V6 isn’t enough to e-brake the rear wheels and have enough power to make the car drift/maintain speed. This is probably where a 5spd would come into play as being more beneficial than an auto because you can control the RPMs, etc. I don’t claim to be a drift master or know how to do it, I’m just thinking. This is why, due to my lack of knowledge/skill, I stick to doing it in the snow. ---

there’s plenty of fwd drifting, Synapse’ new race car for example, thing will probably be sliding around half the tracks they’re at, but it’s done for a reason…there’s no drive wheels out back to rotate the car. still though, it’s not drifting, it’s slipping. i hate the drifting-or-not argument, fuck this thread im out [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/drifting-101-with-tsuchiya-willow-spring-21-mins/249622.md?page=1)
