You are 100% correct in the technique/application you are talking about, but I would hesitate to call it lift-throttle or lift-throttle oversteer. To me, what you describe is sounds more like throttle-steer, whereas lift-throttle brings up connotations of the rear end coming around. That is getting a bit into semantics, so no big deal on what you call it. As far as application goes, you are correct in that it is an indispensable tool. Major steering inputs are obviously done with the steering wheel, but any fine-tuning is all done with the throttle. In that sense, it is not only not a bad habit, but an integral part of smooth, high performance driving. That said, make LITTLE inputs with the throttle. Too sudden of a lift will take you into lift-throttle oversteer very fast, and then you're in trouble.

I have heard a lot of people talk about it as though it is a bad habit, but I use it a lot in my FWDriver to make minor corrections for corners. Albeit, nowhere near to the car's limit. can’t lift-throttle be harnessed if performed correctly?
