And with oversteer all you do is point where you want to be and be steady on the pedal,I have found lifting off is not always the best when understeering either,some FWD cars especially suffer from lift off oversteer anyway and I find it to be even more difficult to control and likely to throw the car into a spin.

TBH I'll never drive anything but an AWD car again anyway,I've had enough of teh various wrong wheel driven vehicles as it is,and I'll gladly take my turbo'd up oversteer.

problem with oversteer is that in most cases its very sudden, understeer tends to come on a lot more gradually. plus, your never going to end up spinning a car through understeer, but it's all too easy with oversteer.

next time your going round a bend at 70mph, imagine the back end sliding out. you'd have to be a very good driver, know your car, hopefully with drifting experience to feel at all safe. very easy to over correct or have the back continue to slide out. if the front end starting to go a bit wide you'd gentlely ease off the throttle and it'll be fine. you could even break.
