mid motor cars you will find they might snatch loose grip, but on the flipside they will also regain their grip after a slide, there is not so much pendulum motion going on.
also, you can turn in harder into the corner because you don't have to worry about your motor on the trailer at the back trying to overtake the front end coming into a corner. this can work as a counter productive behaviour though, if the grip is low and you want to hand bag it into hairpins.
the closer the heavy bits are to the CoG, the less inertia they pick up when the car is moving/sliding/jumping so the easier it is to stop that motion.
as with most things, this can be a good thing and a bad thing, and this is the reason for the snap loss of grip, but also the snap re-gain of grip.
when I say 'snap' loss of grip, I don't mean blink and the car is facing the wrong way, you have to drive it/see it to get my drift (like that
) properly
