Actually you can drift in about almost any car. But it's just rather dumb and pointless to have to pull the ebrake on your civic/integra, and go @zz-dragging around every turn. McDonald's trays, anyone?
Kick in the clutch on your FWD car during a turn and you'll plow off the road. Kick in the clutch on a RWD car during a turn and you'll be facing the apex.
Originally posted by VtecApprentice why issit when a RWD car is drifting, the driver will be controlling the accelerator and when driver want the car to go straight again after the drift, he will also press the accelerator ? ? ? both drifting n going straight again are control using accelerator ? ? ? that must be very difficult ? ? ? ? ?
Hrm. Actually all cars regardless of drivetrain are controlled using the accelerator. The key point you're missing here is the way the driver presses the accelerator. It's just that for FWD/AWD cars getting yourself back in line is a relatively simple matter of pointing in the direction you want to go and applying throttle. One of the big reasons why rally cars tend to be FWD or AWD.
For RWD, you have to modulate the throttle with a bit more care to avoid power-on-oversteer.
