No you don't have to be doing massive slides to rotate the car on throttle. The rear limited slip differential sending power to the outside wheel definitely helps the car rotate. As you're approaching a turn, lift off the throttle or brake to transfer the weight to the front of the car - at this moment the front wheels have more grip than the rear. Assuming you're already in a low gear, now turn in sharply and smoothly give it throttle and you should hear the rear tires clawing away at the ground as car rotates into the turn - even with traction control on.
That instantaneous sensation of yaw at normal speeds is what makes this car fun. Chris Harris explains that sensation very well in this video:
