Getting a FWD into "snap spin" must be pretty difficult, since I've never managed it in any FWD and we've had a lot of them.
Next time you're at a track day, note that the guys who are really fast will often hang the tail. This is also a matter of how the car was set up. Understeer consumes power. Oversteer doesn't.
With your suppositions about track driving it doesn't seem to be a surprise at all that you've never experienced a "wrong wheel drive" snap spin! Amazing...
