I used to do this all the time when we did autotest competitions in our Justy. Great fun, but it only worked in FWD mode. The Justy had no centre diff, so if you locked the back wheels in 4WD mode then it also locked the front ones by way of the prop shaft and the car would just skid to a stop.

In my limited experience, I've found the best cars for "handbrake turns" are FWD with manual gearboxes. It helps if you pump the rear tyres up to about 45PSI too.

I've never managed it in the SVX. With the transmission sending 65% of the engine torque to the back wheels, the handbrake is too weak to lock them up.

I've managed to swing the back of the car with "lift off" oversteer, but it's not easy to unbalance this car.
