    ALSHUALLY, 4WD drifts are less oversteered/less doublelaney than RWD (I actually don’t know if this is true, I’m just repeating what I understood of it from Initial D).

      …but you don’t drift with 4WD (in this scenario), you change to it because of the uneven terrain that comes with an outdoor mixed-environment like a playground, where one can traverse concrete, grass, dirt, mud, sand all in a few seconds. Locking differentials are a plus if the vehicle has them, especially in sand for this situation.

      E: also the skyline is technically awd as I don’t believe you can disengage the 4WD. 4WD implies the ability of 2WD and possibly a low/high range gearbox. It bugs me that the show uses the term 4WD for this.
