According to "Bob Bondurant on High Performance Driving," if you are
in trouble, NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER touch the brakes.  This is
especially true for front-wheel drive cars, since they are lighter in
the rear already; braking will transfer weight to the front and the
rear will slide out even faster than a rear-wheel drive car.  His
recommendation is much like rear-wheel drive cars, where you let up
on the gas just to the extent where you are balancing the loads as
well as you can on all four tires, then do whatever you can to steer
out of it.  It will depend on the specific car more than anything else.
The only way to know for sure is to go put your car through some
rough driving at a race track so you know how it handles!
