And lift throttle oversteer, mainly for FWD sporty cars, is most certainly helpful in getting that vehicle to rotate in turns. A little bit of oversteer in a turn is always faster than a little bit of understeer.

Sure, almost all cars these days are tuned to understeer at the limit. But that's because mandatory driver training is practically non-existent and because (at least in the US) someone is always looking to sue automakers for things that aren't their fault (see: Toyota's runaway acceleration).

100% of my post was sarcasm
