thequick way for u to figure out how to do it find your self a dirt road with some turns in it and try to take the turn with a lil bit of speed (dont hall ass until u see wat its all about )then let your car do the drifting u will soon see wat i am talking about ( be carfull and dont kill your self )

you'll notice I said 'most popular'. pick up any japanese magazine about drifting, 95% of the vehicles shown are rwd. yes, awd can drift, but its not a good starting platform for drift IMHO. The learning curve is much greater, as is the abuse on the car.
