If it's full-time AWD with no facility to turn it off, that can't be helped, but there's probably an ABS fuse somewhere you could pull. Same goes for computerized traction control.
My advice: find a parking lot with no curbs or concrete bumper-stops in it, and conduct experiments. It's For Science!
I was in one last night, by the beach! I'm apparently going to need it to be a lot emptier, and a lot larger, because thus far all experiments have ended with a stuttery stop facing more or less the direction I started. I NEED MORE SPEED!
best way to get a AWD drive car to go into a drift is to dial in a lot of steering (creating understeer) then add lots of gas and as the car starts to pivot around the front tires, take some steering out and manage the drift w/ the throttle.
it's harder to describe than to show....we teach it at our winter driving schools on the skid pad.
On my way home from the show last night I found a big empty parking lot and did a bunch of lazy figure-8s, drifting the whole way thru the ends :-)

Until the time I drove from Boston to NJ on my racing tires. Low tread, soft tires. In a constant heavy snow.
A 7 hour drive I'd rather not have had to do.
Lemme tell ya, the ramp from the mass pike onto 84? Not so fun when sliding sideways.
