There's not much more fear of losing it in the corners with a FWD then there is with a RWD other than how the handling is done. In a FWD car you enter the corner a little hard, turning in later and if you have proper power and gearing nail it. The ass will come around and you'll pull her through the curve. You push it to the edge of understeering and then pull the ass in line by pointing the front where you want to go.
As I said, I've done a 5 day course at Bondurant twice and in both cases we did the whole FWD vs RWD and the FWD cars in the hands of a capable driver were on the ass end of the instructors in the RWD car the whole time. When we as students took over, the FWD cars actually pulled way more successful laps than you might think. Real world, real people so skills varied. The real fun was watching the instructors fight it out. We're talking to the edge of the capabilities of these cars and man it really opens your eyes to the fact that a few tenths of a second isn't much of a huge difference.
The first time we had SRT-4 Neons, Cobra Mustangs and Vipers. In 2005 we did Grand Prix GXP's, CTS-V's, and ZO6's. The only reason the CTS-V beat my times was because it was pulling down 400hp vs 303hp. Otherwise, I was on his ass in the curves. I ended up buying one because the instructors actually showed me how to make the car perform. I apply the same to my MS3 and at Nelson Ledges here in Ohio, there are a number of MR2's, RX-7's that with everyday track guys like me driving that are shocked when they see me on their asses in the twistiest like I am.
