Default Re: Silly question... but here goes. Doing a 180.

E.M. I see that you're new around here. You may want to do a "search" on the traction control. Alot has been written about it.
What I meant about "power braking it" was applying your foot to the brake while you give it enough gas to make the tires break loose.
Sometimes known as "brake torqueing".
As for controlling the car, or keeping it from "fish tailing", as long as the front wheels are turned sharply to the left, then the car will only "slide" to the right, and not fish tail. And of course, only slide to left when the front tires are turned to the right.
As long as the traction control has "any" power flowing thru it's circuits, a fish tail scenario is nearly impossible. Turning "off" the traction control, does not eliminate it's pressence.
