his first run isnt that good (warmup) but the 2nd is great. Dust that civic off boys and hit the track today, you "OG" Drifters!

actually i saw that video earlier, and i must say it sucked. those aren't drifts IMO. all he does is get the rear end loose for half a second...although i hear somewhere that he wasn't using any e-brake...which makes it a BIT more impressive...but still not very.
i've done longer e-brakes in my Pontiac (see signature).

Say what? using the parking brake isn't drifting, it's parking. 
But seriously folks...

fwd cars are fun on grass though, with a bip of the throttle and some quick rally like steering lmfao the rear end will come out and you can get some good fishtailing... pretty fun

Seriously...thats in no way what drifting is. Look at it...its so un artistic and all sketchy. There is no beauty in that. I like it when he kicks up some o' that dirt  .

If he's not using the handbrake, then that Civic has a much stiffer front end than the rear end, making for an oversteering balance, suitable for drifting. That guy is just not that good at controlling it, or doing it with any exit speed.

If you listen to the engine going through curves, I'd say that Cbass is right.

thats how a FWD "drifts" as some people insist they do LOL..... you can't get any better....
without power going to the rear wheels making them spin and slide out.... the just drag around...... you can't hold a drift in a fwd car......
and if someone says you can, show me a video......I don't care what speed it is, I don't care what kinda turn it is...... AS long as someone shows me a FWD car holding a drift on dry pavement then I'll say they can "drift" instead of just ass dragging.

Just watched that video...
Easy to reproduce. Take any fwd car, and make it about 70/30 weight distribution so the back end swings out easily. volia
