Then you should have practice.

Every car can do this - even a VW Bug.

...and loose 1-2 seconds. This works only in Hollywood. Hand brake turns are for front or all wheel drive vehicles. Looks good in Red Bull videos but does not gain speed nor places.

Not really - lot's of water 1-2 gallon per tire at 1 foot. If the drift is 20 feet you looking at up to 40 gallon water...
Besides that, if you have so bad brakes - you should not drive that car.
