So lets say you have this 90 degree turn you take at 60mph in 2nd gear w/ partial throttle through the apex. What would happen if you took the same turn at the same speed but before the turn you drop to nuetral so your not pulling through the corner. Does the car pitch slideways? Will the rear slide out?
---------
... the car seems to turn in so much better when off the throttle (SOMETIMES)....
---------
which part of the turn is "in the corner?" the initial turn into the curve...
</TD></TR></TABLE>
Piecing this together, seems to me that you are asking about the effectiveness of turning in off-throtte not necessarily corning while the car is in neutral. If this is the question, yes, I can think of circumstances where this is preferable to turning in on-throttle or trailing off the brakes. I think I do this a fair amount (actually try to at Kershaw, don't have any DA to say if I am or not) and I don't think its slower or necessarily wrong.

smart man... that's what i meant, have no idea why i said in nuetral>>>>
I figured it out though... sometimes turn-in is more nuetral with no throttle or braking (but still in gear). sometimes trailbraking is too drastic and unneccessary, sometimes throttle on initial turn induces understeer...
