I've re-typed a response three times now and backed over it. I don't want to be condescending, but I gotta say, this is one trick you should leave to your friend. It can only cost you a boatload of money to correct when you screw up your brakes, tires and possibly your suspension.

Dude, just roll the corner wide and the last second turn in and mash the gas, then let off a slight bit and hold it, the car will drift around the corner nicely in full control (if you can handle it) without using the e brake at all. It's a RWD car, common you can DO IT!!

alright, first of all im not a troll..my style of driving is not the same as all of yours i guess. thanks 986jim for kinda helping, as for the rest of you, the reason i am asking these "crazy" questions is so that i can learn about my car and get real world answers. im not a car expert by any means, thats why im asking you guys, the ones that should know..i guese some of you people are not the type of people to help a less knowledgable driver, and more the type to cut them down.
