Snap Oversteer

[Stubborn Approach]

I’ve seen folks in this community use the words Snap Oversteer to describe the handling traits of the FiST & other vehicles.

That is just a figment of your imagination.

Our off throttle rotation is one most fun things about canyon driving in the FIST

It caught me a bit off guard the other night trying to make a yellow light. Definitely love how eager the rear wants to rotate.

I think maybe drivers interpret a more unpredictable rear end with snap oversteer.

I've spun out unpredictably at turn 10 at Laguna Seca. The one with a lot of camber. It's not snap oversteer, but the sensation is not totally unlike the rear end fishtailing on my old 240sx during autoX, that didn't have the suspension sorted out (and poor tuning with difficult throttle modulation).

I think what to strive for is predictable rotation, minimizing understeer. Probably this means a number of variables including driving experience and tuning the suspension that works best for you.

canyon driving scares me with this car. On tighter tracks like streets of willow springs, it's wonderful. at the few autoX I've done, car is also a delight.

Knowing if the tail comes out, worst case scenario I knock over cones in Auto X is a lot more reassuring than sliding off the mountain.
