you can make anycar oversteer - all it takes is a stiff rear sway bar to make the rear end kick out. The difference is when you try to accelerate. a rwd will oversteer on throttle, so you can keep the drift going. a fwd will UNDERSTEER on throttle, so you basicly you cannot accelerate much or you'll kill the drift.

If you were to setup a fwd to have a huge tendancy to oversteer, you could control the oversteer by hitting the throttle creating understeer to do nice drifts, but the car would be impossible to drive on the street like this because the rear end would want to kick out all the time! Another problem is its impossible for the car to gain or even conseve speed while sliding like a rwd can.

having said that, if I had a fwd I would be out there trying to drift it....
