not entirely......Especially when correcting for oversteer/understeer. They are somewhat close. Example, alex crashed into a curb because of some moped because he countersteered. This on an AWD and FF car is bad. Countersteer must be kept to a minimum. Throttle control is where it is at. The reason is, with our cars when you push the gas the car goes where you point the wheel. and wips the rest of the car around damn near uncontrolably.. I showed alex exactly what i ment a fiew times on the lake bed. When turning into a corner, i would turn in, and let the rear slide. Now at that point i would damn near make the wheels point forward. Not counter steer, then I used the throttle to turn the car from there. Its all about weight transition/throttle control. DONT MESS WITH ME I OWN THE DRIFT BIBLE!!! plus i drive crazy allot. Ask alex about that corner on Frank Senatra Street where he thought i was going to loose it but i kept the car on the line.


Think of it this way, bolth awd and FWD cars do compete in rally all of the time. Because they handle the dirt somewhat the same. (SOMEWHAT) but its close enough to save someone's life i am telling you.

I drove a Jeep all of the time back home off road, and FR is a bit close as far as control as the jeep was in 4wd mode.

Ok. Take Las Vegas Boulevard north until you reach Sahara. Make a left (west) on Sahara and the In N Out will be on your right a couple blocks up.
