Nope. Think about it in terms of weight transfer and physics. In a RWD car, lifting throttle mid corner will transfer weight to the front inducing more rotation. Holding all variables constant, and assuming a steady state throttle position, in a corner adding throttle shifts weight rearward and should cause understeer.

i KNOW its not ever going to be faster, but it is generally easier.
It is possible to "power out" of an oversteer condition in a FWD car.

It has been my experience that a RWD is easier to balance with the throttle over a FWD. I've driven both on track, and found my 944 just felt better than my Civic.
