When you lift at the limit on a corner the weight is transferred from the inside rear to the outside front. If your going fast enough you will lose rear traction causing oversteer toward the outside. A lot of other things come into play as to how bad you will slide. Front, rear or Awd will all transfer weight the same way without some sort of stability control stepping in. Quick reflexes and seat time is all you can do to,save yourself or prevent it from happening. I've done it a few times on purpose in competition but I don't recommend it if there's a wall. Be careful.
