Rara,
Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't even seen AndrewR's post in between mine.
I agree on what Andrew says, but I'm not sure where it means I'm wrong?
I was talking about a performance situation, where you can expect the front tires to already be using 100% of available traction. At that point, I agree that negative acceleration transfers more weight on the front tires.. but for sure that would also send them over the edge, inducing that 4 wheel drift. Not a condition I would describe as oversteer!
In a more real-world situation, where there is still some traction left at the front, I agree on having the rear swing out... I guess I simply never experimented that behaviour with a FWD car.. mostly pushing under drop throttle.
I'm just re-running my thinking here, could anyone point out where I messed up in the explanation??
