Depends on what the turn is like.

Generally, you have to roll slower into the throttle in a rwd car to not upset the balance. Rolling into the throttle hard will almost definitely create either understeer or oversteer depending on the turn and the surface. It is not much of a difference if you're just canyon cruising, but it's first-to-last on a course.

The spring bias in the z is also loathe to drop weight back onto the back wheels, expanding that pause. The closer fr rates on swifts and coils is where a lot of their benefit comes in....
