Ok lets settle this now, a true drift is where u shift the wight of ur car during a turn and as u are turning u still have power going to the rear wheels creating a drift. If you use a hand brake while "drifting" it is not a drift, it's a P-O-W-E-R-S-L-I-D-E there for it is IMPOSIBLE for a front wheel drive car to drift because they never have power going to the rear, they can power slide but not drift, you can try say something different to argue against me but a front will drive is unable to drift due to the fact power is only going to the front. Need For Speed is an arcade game and unrealistic in its physics (sp?) so using the hand brake doesnt matter, no one cares it's an arcade game...realism is not a major factor to EA, making drifting easy for every one is what there aim is so that even the worst people at the game can drift.
If you want to go and truely drift in a game Mr.Motorer1 go try it out in gran turismo, you will find it much much more difficult then need for speed, because the drift physics in NFS are different from it's normal physics allowing you to drift with ease.
Now i hope we don't need to continue this stupid arguement over a game where a drift mode is made to be simple.
