If you can drift AE86 very well, then you can drift a subie.
Basics are the same, it's just a lot harder because Subaru has such a good traction.

Well Imprezas are harder to drift, you basically have to get the car to 10/10ths and loose traction in a controled fashion, and the drifts dont tend to last that long unless you have plenty of torque to keep the tires spinning.
Ive done drifts twice now at Auto-x's, and its rather difficult to initiate but very easy to control afterwards (since you just aim to control the drift since the front wheels are under power too)

once you lod the tires up so that they go sideways drifting in subies is easy, just keep the rpm's high (4-6k). i can't do it on pavement unless it's wet and i go a little too fast but dirt gras and snow are all easy. and i drive an OBS....
