Who says you can't drift a FWD car...

If anyone can make a car do just about anything, Tiff Needel can.

mmmmmmm nothing like a little tasty lift off oversteer from a fwd car. I would be frightened to try that in my 3.0 cl, then again I don't have stick to use that engine braking.

I've always loved the way he drives. In any of his episodes he drives like a real man should (on the track of coursee

To make it an even comparo they should have tested the RL against a 530xi and an A6 with quattro (I never saw the back of the A6 well enough to see if it was a Quattro). The heavier 530xi would maybe have posted a worse laptime.
