Whatever gets you sideways I guess? Do you lose a lot of speed doing that?

Haha, I see what you did there.
On Topic: are you talking about on GT5? Because I didn't know you could drive around with the handbrake engaged, I thought it just killed your motor. Heh, I'll try it now.

Handbraking is a drift technique, and if that suits you and your car then Yes. But one thing is annoying, don't get cocky and think your all better than everybody if you use the E-brake excessively with FRs

HAHAHA XD i wish i came up with that. But anyways, yes you can do it with FF or 4WD just fine, it just feels awkward because the way to get an FF to drift, it contradicts almost everything you should do in an FR lol.
If you just hold it with an FR/MR it just locks the wheels momentarily and then just slows you down.
i have a video with a Golf GTI mk1. not the best car, but if you taik comfort hard -rear and racing soft -front then it work nice.

"Drifting is making the rear end of a car lose grip and slide." Meaning any car, FR, FF, or AWD. So not just FRs. Drift to your liking, just don't use the easy way to get cocky with the pros.
lol, i never said i like fr-drifting.. i just asking because many people say it's not drifting and other's say it's drifting... and wtf "cocky".

Hey man make sure to advance then learn to drift, with the single tap and keep it controlled, many people dont drift like that cause it looks silly with smoke coming out of the tires

Looks silly
I've never really seen this before and I'd have to agree. There's something weird looking about the arc of the drift and when you notice that the wheels are not moving it just looks like a bunch of cars pretending to drift.
I also don't see any practical skills being learned by driving this way... where as learning to actually drift makes you almost crash proof in a straight race.
People can do whatever they want but I don't see it as being as cool as learning how to control an out of control car, which is the whole point of drifting.

Doing it whith rear tires on looks abit weird I agree; they give too much grip. So what the guy in the volvo did is a good idea I think. But i would take it one step further; remove them all together for some synthetic highly durable plastic ring. You have those "drift bigwheel" things right? I guess they have that stuff on the rear too. Saves you a lot of money on tires, they should go through them much faster then RWD drifters because all the wear is one spot with a locked e-brake, and increases the look of the slides.. I did'nt think that volvo looked half bad......(for an FWD slider)
but lol.
but lol.

AWD drifting rule still applies. If your not going to post something that will contribute to the thread then don't post it at all. This rule does apply to everyone.
Driving with the handbrake on in an FF car just leads me to tail dragging. I myself consider it drifting, but I'll shut up right now 'cos I don't want any arguments concerning the "real meaning of drift and how it is only applicable to rwd cars".
Maintaining the slide in an FF car is a little hard at first.
More throttle = Less angle
Less throttle = More angle
although sometimes people just rip the handbrake and use full throttle in like.. 1st or 2nd gear. :/
