Letting off the gas will transfer weight from the rear to the front, resulting in a loss of traction in the rear (and the rear end stepping out). Kinda like left foot braking.

I was accelerating hard on a wet road yesterday, traveling in second in a straight line toward a green light, and the back end came out. I countersteered and backed off the throttle (probably too abruptly, but it's hard not to react that way) and it got right back into line. But I was surprised to see that the DSC did not kick in. No blinking light; no sense that the car was taking things over. I guess it really is pretty passive under most conditions. I have had it kick in, though, when I was power oversteering through a 90-degree turn on purpose. It's amazing how it brings the tail back into line.
