Default Drift caliber?

i was just wondering if this is feasibly possible? i know some have done it with evo or imprezas, where they somehow disengage the fwd parts of the car and convert them to rwd. i know the R/T comes in an AWD trim so i was wondering if the same was possible.

Neat idea, but I bet it wouldn't be the easiest thing to set up.

yeah i highly doubt it would be easy to do, but it is feasible well at least on evos. i guess nobody heres even thought of doing it yet.

All the Calibers no matter which model have tranversely mounted engines.
I have not looked at the Compass nor the Patriot which are built on the
same platform as the Caliber and the Mitsu Outlander.

it would not be the same because the engine is in the wrong position and the transaxle is in the front of the car in between the axles.Im not saying it can't be done but alot of fabrication and custom parts would be needed like a whole new rearend and axles and maybe even a driveshaft.
Dodge has that nice srt8 charger that they use to drift.
