Amazing how all that originated from Leungy having a cocked rim, which by the way I love his initial response in which he said "the rims came direct with the wheels " !
Classic !!

Then these guys go into this debate on whether or not its possible to drift a FWD car.
Which is really absurd, but funny nonetheless.
Have you not heard of Physics fellas?
What are they teaching you guys in school these days?
Ever heard of a guy named Sir Isaac Newton?
Well he devoted his life to the study and development of what came to be known as "Newton's laws of motion", which are these three physical laws that explain relationships between the forces acting on a body and how they effect a body in motion.
First law
It is possible to select a set of reference frames, called inertial reference frames, observed from which a particle/body moves without any change in velocity if no net force acts on it. This law is often simplified into the sentence "A body continues to maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force." This law is known as the law of inertia.
Second law
Observed from an inertial reference frame, the net force on a particle/body is proportional to the time rate of change of its linear momentum: F = d (mv) / dt.. Momentum mv is the product of mass and velocity. Force and momentum are vector quantities and the resultant force is found from all the forces present by vector addition. This law is often stated as "F = ma: the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration."
Third law
Whenever a particle A exerts a force on another particle B, B simultaneously exerts a force on A with the same magnitude in the opposite direction. The strong form of the law further postulates that these two forces act along the same line. This law is often simplified into the sentence "To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Therein lies the mechanics of drifting and since it is (in simplest terms) basically a controlled slide, it is therefore achievable by any vehicle given the right combination of inertia, acceleration and reciprocal actions.

See how simple that was, no need for such long drawn out expalnations.
Oh and by the way ross_m, in regard to editing posts, try clicking the "edit" button bro.
