Wow, another drifter eh, I think it would be the same out come, but since most people can use their hands quicker than their feet, so you will have to practice more to be good at it. I never try drifting in the TL yet. But my Starion was awesome for drifting. If i punch it even in 3rd, when the turbo spool up the rear of the car goes faster than the front lol.

its not drifting, u have a fwd car. ud power slide if anything. wont hurt ur car.

what i do in winter (for fun in an open parking lot) is i press the ebrake so it clicks once then press it again so it clicks and i keep pressure on it. that way, i can press the ebrake and release it and do it over depending on what i need to do at that time. and it wont lock on me.

on my cl-s 6spd its sooooo much more easier. love the hand brake.

drifting a FWD car is accomplished by going in reverse then use your regular brake. I do it all the time in my motorcylce.
