I found when I first started autocrossing my VSE that if I let off the gas for a corner it was pretty easy to break traction with both rear wheels due to the compression braking of the 7 liter v8. In that circumstance if you lost the back there was no stopping it, it just broke loose and came around. This was first demonstrated to me when running it on street tires on a damp day.

I learned to left foot brake and never let off the gas completely in the turns.

It made the times I drove it on the street an exercise in caution.
