With neutral to mild throttle application there is a definate push, lifting off the throttle ( for traffic ) will tend to lessen this push.
No worries we are just talking....I am just trying to learn proper car control. I have experienced a progressively more violent tank slapper just as you describe in the wet. It was a lot of work with no way out...had to let it spin and lockup once I thought I was going in straight line
