Tell me how. I am 0% kidding dead serious when I say screwing around in the snow (I get 8 garbage months of it) is 50% of the reason I demand my daily driver be RWD or at least (non-Haldex/Full time ) AWD

Fwd and reverse works great.

Put it in reverse, crank the wheel and hit the gas. This one ro tat ed around one rear tire, it was tight!

“ I wish for a FWD car that still does tight snow nuts!!!”

When I swapped over to FWD (my first car was a RWD Celica, my second was a Geo Metro), I continued snownut-crafting by gunning the hamsters motor, keeping my foot planted to about 15 mph, then crank the wheel just as I gave the ebrake a quick yank. Good for a few spins, then repeat.

I do this  too but I need a larger area for the speed required to get a good spin going.

1. Put in reverse, turn wheel, mash gas.

2. Get some speed, rip e-brake, turn wheel.

Trust me, FWD is plenty of fun, you just have to know how.

I’ve given FWD a shot and I know how good it can be, and I can do lift off oversteer and shenanigans to make a FWD car slide and even rotate the way I would like . That being said it will never be able to give me that power on oversteer feel. Nothing wrong with FWD (one of my fave cars to drive in Forza is the new  Civic Type-R)  but it won’t do what I want

I much prefer the Come in hot, use e-brake to rotate car, shoot out the other side method of cornering.

I used to drift in a SC V6 swapped RX7. While cornering sideways is fun, the feel/skill of cornering a FWD past it’s limits is simply amazing.

To each their own, FWD/RWD can both be fun, the only drivetrain I loathe is AWD, simply because it is BORING!

What supercharged V6 does one put in a drift RX-7? (I think the answer is the cheapest one that performs, but what did you do)

I have yet to try AWD in any hooning capacity so I can’t speak from experience, but I would think with the variations in systems it would be far more make specific than FWD or RWD. For example the difference between Haldex, Subaru AWD, pickup truck ‘Full-Time 4WD’ and rear biased stuff like BMW X-Drive would all be different.

3.8 out of a Thunderbird Super Coupe. Was somewhere around 450 hp when we got done with it.

I’ve owned/driven numerous AWD platforms. Subarus absolutely bore me, our F250's 4WD was kinda fun because it had enough torque to spin the tires at low speeds, otherwise other systems act like FWD/RWD until you want them to then they decide to go AWD and screw you over.
