WTF??? Who has oversteer problems in a FWD car??? Not that I am really complaining, I would rather have oversteer than understeer, but really...wtf??? I get off the freeway last night at a 'brisk' pace and I have the back end slide out...then I went and 'autocrossed' through some cones in an empty parking lot and it does it sometime there also....hmmm...

Stock suspension

No, these tires don't suck....

Oh, and I had about 1/4 tank of gas still.

Yeah mine does that, but only in the snow.

Freaky as hell becuase you don't expect a FWD car to do that

Yeah, but with weight transfer, in snow, it is far less suprising, I was turning at a constant rate through a medium left hand corner and they broke loose:eek:

It's all about weight transfer...yes, it would be nice to have less body roll, but if you control the car well, it can still be tons of fun...:drunk:

I've got oversteer but on a dirt road only. It holds really well on the street even when I push it hard through corners.

It's pretty easy to get lift-throtle oversteer.
When you feel the back end get loose, it's a hint to nail the gas and let the front tires pull you through. ***Don't practice this on the street***
