I'm getting there with my ability to inch closer to the handling limits but still have not been able to break the back end loose. No drifting for me yet..... Hopefully will naturally progress up to that point but in 1999 I cracked my brand new RWD 328 into a tree attempting to kick the back end out while making a turn at an interaction.... totaled the car.

I'd highly recommend autocross or track (or at the very least, a large empty parking lot) to see what it's like getting the rear end to break loose safely. It's a lot of fun, just make sure you're ready to catch it.

It is a glorious sensation! Would the limited-slip diff also have something to do with it? It really does like to hunker down when you put the right amount of gas to it.

There are a lot of folks who have not had the pleasure of driving a rwd car; and as the forum has shown some of them learned the hard way. Just trying to save the 86's!
