<VV> "Thrill-handling Corvair" at the limit

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Well - It wasn't me. My daily driver is a non-autocrossing C6 Vette. So,  
many other cars I have driven handle "badly" - compared to that. But not my  
Corvair, it handles very well.

 
I remember this definition about understeer/oversteer:

 
Understeer is when the driver is scared - Oversteer is when the passenger  
is scared!

Correct,  oversteer is a problem (for sloppy drivers), because you get more
than you  give, so to speak, making it more exciting than most drivers can
handle,  causing trouble.

Was it Seth that said that no new cars handle  badly?  Is that because they
all (at least the FWD ones) understeer,  which is "safer" because they don't
cause the car to spin out which could  cause the car to go off the outside 
of
the  curve?
