with a properly adjusted (well a little on the tight side) e-brake you cn do it easly enough on wet pavement but it can get hard to control if you are not careful. just be sure you are on a surface where if you loose control you wont hit any thing. another thing you can do is on dry pavement put some loose sand in the area where you want to slide that way when you get off the sand the recovery is a bit easier. dont forget to get that clucth in before you get past the first or second click on the e-brake. doing burn outs, and e-brake slides dosn't really hurt the car perminantly. the clutch will take some abuse but that is not that hard to change in a day. it takes some pratice to get both right. feel free to contact me for more info.

Unless they put vaseline on the road for you I doubt it can be done! Anyway, that said, it would not damage your car to try it. Best wishes, John
