I think you meant Andy is not 'all time drifter', right?
Yeah, usually drifters use handbrake (in many cases, extended ones for easy to reach, I guess) to initiate the sliding (drifting) going, but Andy was able to do all that without e-brake and with automatic Caddy.
Now,,, OP and many other drifting fans may hate me for saying this, but I don't think of drifting as 'racing'. Don't get me wrong - I know it takes great skills to drift neatly, and precisely.
However, when you are being scored, not timed, it's not racing.... So, when Camaro is said to be ready for track days, it was more of "road course" track days.

You misunderstood, I was referring to amerhash28 as stating he isnt professional drifter. Sorry I wasnt clear
Andy isnt a "pro drifter", but as a professional race car driver, he certainly can drift.
My understanding is that drifting is initiated with a manual e-brake for those that are doing specifically that sport professionally, and usually they modify their cars mechanically to either Add or improve the e-brake
Andy used another common technique to destabilize the center of gravity with a quick opposite wheel shift before committing to the drift turn of his wheels.
