Neutral - just so you and all other front wheel drivers out there understand what happened - oversteer. Mid turn, a FWD car will understeer if you hit the gas - this causes the car to turn wide and is as easy to recover from as getting back off the gas.
In RWD giving it gas mid turn results in oversteer. This means the back of the car swings around fast. The proper technique is to turn the wheel INTO the skid - which in a right hand turn means turning the wheel to the left. Lifting off the gas alone doesn't get you out of trouble.
In ANY car, you always point the wheels in the direction you want to go.
People should learn how RWD works in a safe controlled environment before trying it on the roads.
There was an accident last week where a new Mustang GT did the same thing - turned traction control off and nailed the gas. At 85mph he hit a tree.
