You're asking that on a cycling forum? 
It's about showing off car handling skills; i.e. I can drive so well I can slide my car through a corner. Or they're childish.

Sensible answer - Intentionally inducing oversteer and controlling it requires skill.
Less sensible - Willy waving. Particularly when idiots do it on public roads

In the right conditions yes and if the rear wheels are powered.
It's breaking the traction of the rear tyres and electric motors don't deny the laws of physics. - Although to try to prevent them doing so, cars, frequently have traction control electronics, which may or may not, be able to be switched off.

It keeps Michelin, Pirelli, Goodyear etc happy.
(and probably the clutch material makers, to a lesser extent)
On a public road it's for knobs. Bystanders do get hurt - Youtube has plenty of evidence.

My son is into the scene, I would like to think he only does it on tracks but I'm not that naive, but he is good, he's currently running a 2.3L BMW, with a 2.5L fitted, we have a 4.0L V8 Lexus engine to fit into it this year when the weather warms up. His car control is superb, although it did cost him a few other cars to get that good.
