Its really just a matter of down shifting, pulling out wide a second before the turn, cutting the wheel and giving it a bunch of gas, then cutting the wheel back the other way. Ill get one of my friends to take a video sometime.

i would like to see that..

Power sliding in an auto is easy. Maintaining and controlling consistent power to the wheels with no clutch is a different story. I haven't been able to do it yet.

I doubt that would be a good idea considering it would be stuck there and you have to push it more to get it off.. I have seen people drift with electronic e brakes which is sweet

most likely to keep the dash area clutter free.. it is becoming more and more common now among mid to high end cars.

audi has then and so does bently.. I have not seen them in any other cars but Im sure other companies use them. its just a tiny button or switch that acts as an e brake. instead of being manual (mechanical) its automatic (electronic)

Knowing your cars capabilities and limitations is a must. If more people attempted "safe" drifting or went to a closed parking lot and pushed their cars beyond its limits, then there would be less members crashing their G's on the roads when they finally decide to turn the VDC off. I'm 25 btw.
