Also do you know anything about the e-brake not locking up the rear wheels? Where is the fun in that!
It depends on how fast you're going and how sharp a turn obviously. But in normal cases, one wheel will slip slightly, the "SPIN" light on the dash blinks, and power is directed to the other wheel. I've noticed this a few times because we had an early snow a week or so ago, and they sanded the roads. Well at some intersections, there is excess sand so when I make a turn under power, the one whel slips a bit, the light blinks, and power is redirected.

The E-brake is mechanical meaning it's not part of the hydrolic system. Therefore it's not part of the antilock system either. If you push the pedal hard enough, it should lock the rear wheels.
