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.

Provided the car is rear wheel drive, drifting should be possible.

Drifting is the act of having the car slide and remain sideways around a corner, not just sliding sideways into the corner. Drifting a Porsche is possible. It has more than enough horsepower (even a Boxter can be drifted). If you know how to drift, you’ll easily be able to do it.
