I know alot of you guys are gonna say **** about this, i don't care. Its just to explain that a FWD can drift without the use of an Ebrake.
Now to the story:
Saturday on my way home from work, I was about the 4th car sitting at a red light. Its a 2 lane road. Light turns green, got a solid green light and an arrow. So I take off as soon as the front 3 cars allow me to and turn. I hit the turn at about 25-30 MPH, had it in 2nd gear, applied about half pressure on the brake with my left foot while still applying gas with my right foot. My back tires broke loose, I let it slide around and get the right angle, then i let my foot off the brake and gunned it. Wasn't like a completely sideways drift, but a drift no less.
It just shows that you can drift a FWD after much time, practice and knowledge. There are 2 things you need to know, 1: Left foot braking 2: Setting up your tire pressures. My rear tires are set at about 30 PSI while my front tires are at 35 PSI, it might be less than that, but they are set 5 PSI apart. This allows the rear tires to slide easier while the front will still grab longer than the rear.

But that is called power sliding and is uncontrolable.
What you do is pull of the E-brake/lock the rear wheels and slide.
The problem is that the rear is locked up so you have no control and eventually you'll stop because you're losing momentum. You can hit the gas to speed up but because it's a FWD car, it'll pull out of the slide
