If he mashed the brakes the rear would keep going around, yes but i don't see how it would drive the car like that. It would simply cause the car to spin.
It's pretty simple what happened. Rear tires spinning(both due to LSD, so must be 93-95), back end steps out a little bit, he hits the brakes like a dumbass thus taking weight off his rear tires, car continues to rotate but he doesn't countersteer and ABS allows the front tires to grip enough to make the car head straight for a Jetta.

He should have just countersteered and eased off the gas ever so slightly, but that would have been too logical.

But what do I know?
