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.

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.
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.
You will easily win a drift car race in a mid-engined car, (if they will let you enter it!)
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
