Oh, ok. Guess I've never aggressively driven a tail-heavy car, so I wasn't familiar with the back coming out in a corner if you lift off the gas. I can see where it would "upset" the balance though, shifting more weight (and traction) to the front tires, while all that mass in the back is trying to go straight instead of following the path of the rear tires, which suddenly have less traction.
