Are you seriously unable to comprehend the physics of this?

Even if you know NOTHING about cars you should be able to answer.

What 'AWD' cars can drift.... well the Skyline. Why? Because its 90% to the rear.

The EVO is 50% to the front and 50% to the rear.......see what im getting at?

It is 1000000000x easier to drift a RWD car. Dont you dare ask how to convert the EVO to RWD.

In order to drift an EVO you need to be one hell of a driver, and more power.

well sebba it doesnt take much. my car would get sideway rather easy with the stock turbo on it. If I tried to get sideways it would.. However that said I do agree that an amature shouldnt even try because being AWD one thing can happen when you counter steering if you all of a sudden grab traction your going to recoil the other direction and lose controll

well i have been drifting since i have been driving, but most all of my cars were rwd, i have been drifting in my evo it just takes alot, what i have heard was the stock drive train on these are weak, is this true because if it is then im not going to do that anymore till i up grade it. so is the evo really 50 50 because i figured it would be 70 30, it just seems to pull harder in the front then the rear, or is my car just,, F***ed.

its 50-50 its feels its up front because think about it. there is no body in front of the tires the rear is pushing the entire weigh of the car

and the T case will not like you for very long while drifting. and if your going to drift you might as well sell the Evo it is not and will not be a good drift car. they are made to corner well which a drift car is the exact opposite
