i dont drift because im 14 years old but i love it and am fascinated with mechanics. when you rip the e brake, it locks up the rear wheels, and most drift cars are rear wheel drive, right? doesnt this negate the power through the drift? do you have to set the brake bias different? sorry for my newbie post but please post me some answers.

When you pull the e-brake you have to push in the clutch to detatch the engine from the drive train then the e-brake isn't fighting the pull of the engine so it locks the tires, then you put the ebrake back down rev match and pop the clutch. This all happens very quickly so you aren't loosing power realy.

while thats the "right" explination it might be too complicated for a 14 year old lol
when you pull the ebrake, all you want to do is get the rear wheels sliding. once they start sliding, you let go of the ebrake and stand on the gas.
since the wheels are already spinning its 10x easier to keep them there.
also, there are MANY other ways to drift other than using the ebrake. i personally only use it when i need to make corrections while drifting already.

that still doesn't change the fact you need to push in the clutch lol
Re: E-brake? Lose power? (ViperSRT10)
you are correct
no clutch = bad for engine.
