[ec437]

powersliding is when you throw the car into an agressive, oversteering line (in which your tires are sliding), and then use the throttle to control how much traction the back wheels have, therefore controling how far they slide out, thereby controling your line through the corner without using the steering wheels except to initiate the powerslide. Powersliding is, by definition, impossible with a FWD car. It is similar to drifting, which can be done artificially in a FWD car using the handbrake. The thing about this handbrake method is that you cannot mantain it for long, whereas in a RWD car you could, with enough skill, theoretically keep the car in a circular drift indefinitely. (until your tires wear out, that is...)
