It doesn't. But with the Z you have the option of skipping the braking and adding throttle to induce some oversteer (i.e., rotate the rear around to cancel out the understeer). It's a little harder to do that with an AWD car on account of the power going to the front wheels. Indeed, when I detect understeer with my STi I usually tap the brakes rather than attempt to power through it with the rear wheels.
