Is it possible to "drift race" a mid-engine, or rear engine car? Such as a Porsche or a Ferrari?

Question:
Since "front engine" cars have all of their weight in the front, this gives the vehicle a pivot point, and makes the rear easier to swing around. In a mid-engine car (such as a Porsche) the engine is in the center of the car. Due to the weight and balance being different than a front engine car, is is more difficult, or impossible to "drift" such a car...I guess I have the same question for a "rear engine" car as well (such as a ferrari or a lamborgini.

Mechanic wannabes! Answer this:?

High performance driving in a vehicle that has equal weight distribution to all wheels is the ideal. It gives you the capability to turn at the best rate and highest speed without the front or rear wheels "letting go" first. That's why they build mid-engined cars.

Nissan Maxima, Toyota Avalon, or Honda Accord?

Drift racing is not by design, it's because it is typically done in cars that "let go" on the rear wheels first. It doesn't let you go faster around turns - it's a handling technique developed to make up for a less than optimum center of gravity.
