Well, kind of... :-)

Take one small, well-balanced car and upgrade it to the max.

Reduce the weight, stick the biggest turbo you can in it, and bolt sports tyres to the wheels. Take it out on a road circuit, and powerslide to your heart's content!

I'm using the Ginetta G4 - a tiny 60's UK sports car. I've reduced the weight as far as I can and stuck the largest possible turbo in it (Stage 2), which takes it from its original 91 bhp to about 220 bhp.

On a track like Fuji Speedway 80s, with long sweeping turns, it's fantastic fun. I've manged to drift around the entire last corner, before the start/finish straight. Takes a lot of practice, but it looks so cool on the replay. ;-)

Any chance of a look? I think it was you who uploaded some screenshots before, can it be done with a replay as well?

I've never managed to powerslide over a massive distance. I can't really be bothered to go modifying cars so that they'll do it, it's too tedious and I seldom have time these days.

The best car I've managed to slide sucessfully in with minimum modifications was the Holden Monaro. Turn the driving aids off and then just plough into a corner and let the back slip out. It's a bit tricky because if you don't get it right then you tend to lose quite a bit of power.

It's immensely satisfying though.

It was me who uploaded some screens, yes.

Unfortunately I didn't save the damn replay for this, though. :-(

If I manage it again, I definitely will do, though.
