Feeling light in the rear when turning slowly

I noticed whenever I am making a left turn and I applied a little gas in the turn while moving slowing, the rear end comes around. I don't recall having this feeling when I was test driving another product like BMW 335. Is this because I was a bit aggressive with my throttle? Or maybe it is just because we are driving a powerful rear wheel drive car? Comments...

you should have floored it when the rear got a little loose . just take it slow so you do not do nothing crazy with the car.

Check your tire pressure?! Your tire pressure sensors may be off.

I will never complain about a light rear. You need to apply more gas to get it to take a set and squat.

No. My car doesn't have 4WS. Traction control was ON. I rack it up to the staggered setup.

I found my rear trying to pass me a few times although it was not for turning slowly. I remedied that by changing my sway bars, big improvement.
