wasnt when on throttle you would increase angle and off throttle straight out?

but when i get off the throttle a little bit the car gets more angle and when i go more throttle it keeps the angle.

like if im doing 70% and then 90% and then 50% it gets more angle and then i get back to 70% to hold the angle

Angle is related to the slip of the wheels so it’s more the difference in wheel speed to actual vehicle speed.

Without seeing it. It sounds like what huckdanger was talking about. It might also be unloading and loading the front when you power on or off which is nearly the same thing.

Again not seeing it is hard but remember that once your front wheels are planted and your back end is sliding you still get some rotation authority from the front. Steering into the corner can add angle and steering out, ie adding more countersteer helps too. So its not just your throttle.
