They're for idiots.
Post your pics of powersliding road cars.

So no D1GP etc., and keep the tuner-boy or ricer cars to a minimum.
This is because there are enough of these out there to sink a battleship.
Let's get this party started!

If you can, hi-res images preferably.

Immense.

None beat the cool-ness of the Lexus though.

that is NOT powersliding.

You can achieve a non-hand brake slide in a Cooper S, I've witnessed it as well as been in a Cooper S while it was doing it. You just lift off the throttle before going into a corner and you get oversteer, or you can do a Scandinavian flick. If you don't believe that then just go onto YouTube and look up FWD drifting, it's quite possible.

** Granted it's not done in the same way a rear drive vehicle, but like everything in the automotive "stunt" driving world there are a ton of different techniques. But if you want to go by the textbook definition of a powerslide then no, that isn't one, but neither are a lot of the other cars in this thread.

No, it's still not a powerslide. It is just sliding. A power slide requires power over to induce, not just throttle lift. Most any FF can be made to go sideways with out much trouble, with out the brake. But it isn't doing it via power...

I slid a friend's fwd Ford from side to side on snow, feeding it with gas as I went sideways with the rear end slipping, towards the snow banks on my right. After letting go of the gas and turning the wheel quickly to go towards the left banks, I started feeding it with gas as the rear broke loose again. Repeat 6-8 times.
It's the closest I've been to "powersliding" a FWD, as it continued going sideways when I fed it with gas. But it's mainly the weight distribution and not the throttle that makes you go sideways like that, so you can't really powerslide with a FWD.

I'm throwing out two pics of a friend in his Mk2 because of the awesomeness, even though it's not power sliding per se:

Are snow pics allowed? Then I might have something to contribute with myself ;)
 
I'm fine with snow pics.

As long as it's sideways, it's allowed in the thread.
 
2 Ferrari's:

Great shots... the 250 has to be one of the top 2 or 3 most beautiful cars ever built, and to see it being driven like that is wonderful.

BTW, I'm pretty sure both those cars belong to Nick Mason... the F40 was definitely his at one stage... and the guy driving is Mark Hayes... racing driver come motoring journolist
 
Sorry for double post.... meant to add this to my previous post, but forgot!

Here's somethign you don't see everyday... a diesel Merc estate on the lock stops (driver is Chris Harris)...
