Yes, it can be done. Might need a pro racer to do it, but it can be done.

You can still drift without an LSD, I've tried to drit before in my CLK430, the result was just average.

I needed to play with the parking brake to make it slide, I am not skill enough to drift the car without using the parking brake.

As you can imagine, it is very hard to use the parking brake and drift at the same time...

My lift hand was on pulling on the parking release lever and right hand was turning the steering wheel, while my left foot pump the parking brake....

Very hard to do at first, but after awhile, you get to know it's behavior so it turns out better...

Took me a whole day at the track for me to learn this, I do not recommand anyone else doing it.... Also, do it at a race track, not in a parking lot, or whatever... cause you never know what will happen.
