That was great, im getting my WRX soon and will definetly keep this in mind. I've heard that AWD does take more speed into a corner so there is enough momentum to carry the vehicle through.

One major thing of this is the weight, and AWD car is generally 500-1000 lbs heavier than its RWD counterpartners. The 04 STi for example is close to 3200 lbs, most of it being the drivetrain.

I've watched lots of rally and it seems the easiest way for AWD drifting would be to get a perfect suspension setup for soft in the front and hard in the rear. The advantage here is the weight transfer, make that front end light as heavy as possible. Hard braking before the corner, doing a feint motion, full throttle should easily get the rear to go out (or atleast make the rear tires loose traction). It seems, to drift AWD one would have to go beyond the "expected" limitations of drifting. For example, making the speed faster, harder braking like you said.

Anyway, thats what I think of AWD drifting...

Great info by the way, it was awsome.
