I've found this as well. If you get the trail braking just right (very hard for me to reliably repeat at the moment), you get the max weight on the front without exhausting front tire traction...... and the car smoothly (almost lazily) pivots on a dime with the perfect amount of slip angle, and you find yourself fully opening the wheel even though you are just passing the apex (and thus also able to apply more throttle earlier). At that moment, our nearly 2 ton car feels like it weighs like a graceful 100 lb ballerina.
Too little trail brake, and turns in OK but not as good as it could. Too aggressive on the trail brake or carrying too much speed, and you either get significant understeer going into the apex (front tires overloaded) or quick oversteer (real tires overwhelmed) just past the apex.
