not really- takes more steering input to get the back out. kinda sticks to the road, even under power. maybe an upgraded evo with aftermarket mods and more power can, but stock its hard. (loose surfaces/ low grip roads are fun!)

The answer is yes. Look.

I don't know if that worked. It should be a link to a photo in the gallery posted by chronohunter. Check it out. I couldn't figure out how to put a picture directly on the post - like I've seen on other threads.

All I see is a red X.

P.S. I love me some GT3 A-spec.

The best place would be on snow or rainy slick pavement (like a skidpad). It takes a fair amount to get the assend out, but with the turbo boost, I could not predictably get mine to stay out.

My S2000 was simple to kick out and drive sideways in wet, but this thing is way more unpredictable due to the awd.

I figured my feeble attempt at pasting in the picture was not working. Jedinite's link works to the shots I was referring to. I didn't see that thread before. Click on his link and enjoy the view.

I don't think you can power oversteer but if you are turning right on a road course. Try braking hard and suddden turn left and immediatly right. You should start to drift but only try that when no one is around. Wouldn't want to hurt anyone or yourself

I have been successfully with throttle-lift oversteer in the turns after subtle weight transfer to the front end through trail-braking. Nothing like a RWD but its still a hoot.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you CAN power oversteer if you get an alignment set up with less camber in the rear wheels. Stock, it won't oversteer.

You mean you get trailing throttle oversteer without getting back on the gas? That's sweet. My BMW only does that now that I modified it with stiffer springs, shocks, x-brace and M3 front bushings (changes camber). Hardly any stock cars will give you trailing throttle oversteer, certainly no stock BMWs made in the last 5 years.
The Acura RSX does that really easily, but it feels artificial and not very pleasant.

An all wheel drift is fairly easy and controllable, at least by my auto-x experience with the Evo so far. Will see if I can get som pics from this weekend's events.
