When I first saw Tokyo Drift the evo drifting was crazy, then I read this months issue of Sport Compact Car. Which reviewd all of the main cars from the movie. The new trend is now to turn your 4X4 evo to rear wheel drive. A company called RMR makes a convertion kit to make evos 2wheel drive for better drifting. The RMR kit was added to the evo in Tokyo Drift and is being added in the two D1 evo cars competing next year. All this info is in this months issue. Enjoy.

I know this may be crazy talk but WOW! it would be cool if you could switch from 4X4 to 4X2 with a button on a sports car. You can do it in a SUV.
P.S if their is a sports car that you can disregard

yup, Rally drivers are some of the best, and possibly craziest mfkrs in the world. Btw this video has nothing to do with tokyo drift. rally cars have been doing this for a long time. I seriously doubt that that car was converted to 2wd. notice that douring the slide the rear wheels are stoped while the fronts are spinning. this means that he was doing a hand brake slide. then when he is exiting the corner, all 4 wheels peel off. It definitiveley takes an insane amount of skill, and even more b@@ls to pull that one off.

That's a perfect reason why I like rallying so much...
Ideally, you wouldn't want to convert to RWD only (I don't think it would be possible to pull out of a drift like the one above with RWD - that's a perfect 90 degrees!). The best compromise would be active transfer case that could redirect up to 80-90% percent of the power to the rear wheels to cut understeer. I believe this is done to an extent on many current production cars (Audi) already but I think the most is 70% to wheels with a computer deciding when and where to do this.
For me here in Texas (ice and/or snow maybe 3 times a year) RWD, executed perfectly in the RX-8, is what I like and prefer...

This is an old clip from an old video that has been posted here a couple times before.
