Technically drifting is just keeping the car sideways without spinning out...Which he did. Aure, Its fake, But that doesnt make it not "drifting". There is also a few other methods you didnt mention. Downshifting, Letting off the gas hard (high compression bigger motors, like v8s), Flicking the car, And just plain old going into a turn hot and not crashing. You can do it in any car, You dont neccesarily have to be spinning the back tires to do it. Rally cars drift an entire race and they arent spinning the whole time, Im sure they would be experts at it. As for the supra, It needs a lot of suspension work to do the real on-power wheel spinnign drifting, The car hooks up too well. Once you get it out of shape, Its hard to keep there, Because it will either wana go all the way out or come back. All these bigger rwd sports cars are like that (camaros, trans ams, mustangs, stuff like that). It also would need a lot more steering angle. I know this just from trying to do it in the rain, You cant turn far enough to get a good totally sideways drift going. The car was meant to hookup and take turns without getting unstable or squirmy, So making it do those on purpose takes some work. Dam I just typed a lot
