when a car is sliding sideays and 'drifting' its doing so because the rear wheels are maintaining a lack of traction due to them spinning freely against the road surface, ie the car has enough torque to keep the rear rubber from regaining traction while the front wheels somewhat aid in the pointing of the car. a fwd car lacks the necessary equipment to spin the rear wheels, so only the front wheels can be 'broken loose'. on a front engine front wheel drive car not having traction in the front causes understeer, you can get a fe fwd car to oversteer, but it will not maintain that oversteer for the length of time and over the same distance and in the same 'controlled' manner that a rwd car can.
