Not sure that's the problem. The whole chicken or the egg thing. I think it starts to go then I lift.

That's the majority of the problem. You have look where you want to go and mash the gas. On a FWD is essentially impossible to spin while under power. As long the front wheels are in the direction you want to go, the front end will keep pulling you in that direction.

I've had the back end pushed out nearly 90 degrees while racing and still recovered. I was at full lock in the direction I needed to go and had my foot to the floor.

I'd play with tire pressure, you can do more then you'd think.

FWD - when all else fails, floor it.
