How do you make a car drift?

Well first, you almost need to have rear wheel drive car. It is significantly more easily done. Additionally, you almost need the car to be a manual. Those two combined are essential to have a controlled drift.

With a manual front wheel drive you can use the e-brake but it's much easier to loose control and less likely to work the way you want it to.

If you want to drift from a start, put your clutch in, rev the engine to a high rpm (not redlining) and let out the clutch somewhat fast. This will cause the back tires to spin thus loosing traction. If you turn the wheel after doing so your car will drift. Drifting has a lot to do with clutch control. Practice it enough and you'll get it. Make sure you're in a deserted parking lot or something out of the way.

Drifting in a straight line is the most dangerous way of drifting. It's also really fun. If you want to drift while moving, there are a lot of videos on YouTube that explain it. Sometimes on curves, popping the clutch can have some benefits. The easiest way to drift while moving is the control of the clutch to gas pedal combined with steering.

Manual+rear wheel drive+ using the clutch and gas within the friction zone correctly+ turning the wheel in desired direction= a successful drift.

Note* best cars for drifting that I have seen have been the Nissan 350z and 370z. I've seen it done in many other cars but those seem to drift with ease.
