So what would happen if...

[Sköttie P]

Okay, so a friend and I were watching the remake of The Italian Job the other night and enjoyed watching them drive the crap out of those adorable little Minis. At one point, Marky Mark (yes, I know he's grown up and is a Whalberg now, but he'll always be Marky Mark to me) yanks his e-Brake and rips out a nice drift around a corner to our immense viewing pleasure.

My friend, to whom I'm always boasted about the divine greatness of the SVX, turns and says, "Can your SVX do that?" Of course, I replied, "Pffft, I do that like three times on the way to the grocery store, sucka!"

Later I had to admit to myself though that I don't know if such a thing is possible. So I posit to those here who might have more experience in such matters the following:

1: Would the SVX stock handbrake be able to handle being yanked while at speed or would it rip right out the bottom of the car or worse?

2: How would the AWD and heftier than normal weight of our fine automobiles affect a drift on normal, dry pavement?

Not that I ever plan to put such knowledge to use with my immaculate baby, but when it comes to defending her honor and abilities, I like to have my basis covered.
