A friend of mine found this, I thought I'd share. Some pretty awesome driving in this video. It's like drifting and autocross with AWD.

Good find... And yeah the segway stuntman is kind funny
Surprisingly enough drifting an all wheel drive car isn't as hard as you'd think... It's just more clutch action than breaking... At the old used car dealership that I worked at we had a first gen Porsche Carrera 4 (1989 or 90) and it was a blast to take out... Kinda wanted to pick that one up, but never did for fear that parts would cost way to much if it broke down.

The skill on the snow was the snowboarders... Anybody can drift a car on snow and ice... Hell a couple years ago I'd show up early at Menards in the morning when we had some good powder and drift around the parking lot with my 99 Monte Carlo... Yes I did say a 99 Monte Carlo and yes it is front wheel drive and an automatic, but on snow and ice It drifts around light poles just the same
Disclaimer: By the way... If you didn't grow up driving muscle cars back before drifting was even a sport... Please don't try this at home
lol

I am in total agreement there, but it made for some good video footage.
I've done the parking lot thing many a time shortly after getting my license in Michigan. My first car was a 1972 Chevelle which had no back end weight to it (neither do my F-Bodies) and I found many a snowbank while learning winter driving

F-bodies and rear wheel drive pickups are Awesome for winter drifting
