Question Power Over Force on EVO 8 or 9?

I have sensed my 3 months old sexy GG Evo 9 MR was trying to tell me I am a boring driver since I have been babying her like my beloved 2002 GG lancer sedan which I have had & traded-in at the Ca-pissed-tal Mitsubishi dealership somewhere in Silicon Valley, CA. "She" also tries to have me push her harder & harder on open road & corners @ around 6K miles on the odometer. Therefore, I am trying to improve my driving skills in order to rock her hard to the extreme. Anyway, here is my question after I saw a few Initial D anime episodes.

Does the EVO 8 and/or 9 have enough horses & torque to pull corners in & out under control via POWER OVER FORCE if it starts to skid on pavement road? I have read articles stating that some rear wheel drive cars have the ability to control their cars if they starting to slide out at high speed cornering. But I see no where have it mentioned the Power Over Force thing for our muscular & lovely AWD EVOs.

I appreciate your thoughts & opinions! Thanks!
