Damn thats a hard one to explain lol
i will try tho a power slide is when the car hits a corner and powers around it with the cars movement forward and the back end swinging out.
a drift is driving almost sideways with the car moving sideways,i know reading that doesnt nake a lot of sense as they sound the same but its the direction of the car thats the different a power slide only lasts as long as u have the power to back it up, a drift can be on going.
does that make sense??

its basically the same. the difference being that u intitiate a powerslide with throttle where as you can initiate a drift a number of ways. The other bid difference is the control that a drift entails where as a powerslide is more of a sloppy gun it and turn kind of thing in most cases.
