I'm on the base 2013 model so no LSD

Yes. Each turn at each track is different so there is no 'rule'. You can start applying light throttle as you start to unwind the wheel, and the more you unwind the harder you can accelerate. I would expect that you would not be flat-on-the-floor until the steering wheel is straight.

I missed the fact that you were in base model. No LSD makes your brake wear situation even worse.
