This was last year when it snowed in Georgia. But it was around for like an hour. I want to live by the beach

Depends. If you start to lose it on a bend in a front wheel drive car, the best you can do is try to match the speed of the front wheels to the speed of the car and the road, to minimise skidding, and then either very lightly brake to slow it down, or apply a very small amount of power to pull it round. In a rear wheel drive car, you can, if you're good, lock the steering round in the direction you want to go, give it a big bootful of power, throw the tail out very wide, and get the drive behind you, pushing you into, and around, the bend.
The design and engineering technicians at Saab (who you may remember were the first company to make a properly sporty sports car with front wheel drive, and have always used FWD on all but a few of their cars) say that the most power you can reasonably use in a FWD car is 220bhp. Even in a stright-line take-off, when the weight of the car shifts to the rear, the front is going to lose enough grip to render any excess power either useless or a hindrance.
Remember that next time you see "da rice boyz" bragging about the size of the turbo in their FWD shite.
