it is, its rwd so it will drift; there's an auto S14a in the BDC

yup anything rwd can be used to have fun with

There aren't many S12s used in UK as S13s offer a better base platform for similar outlay

ahh i c
sounds cool to me

but wouldn't it be more difficult to drift in an auto without the control of a clutch?

Yeah, I have a tiptronic and you lose clutch control and also cant use the handbrake really with an auto box
