Just wondering, alot of you have been on a track or own track cars yourself. Standard car, after coilovers, ARB's and other items what do you lot think will be the best handling track car?

I appreciate you're probably used to nice predictable VAG understeer, but why the hell does lift off oversteer prove a problem for a track car

your forgetting i owned a 106gti, and a megane coupe 2l the megane was EXTREMELY lift off oversteery and was in fact dangerous imo

too much understeer is a bad thing as is too much oversteer

a heavy engine in a car with an unforgiving rear setup is not going to be well balanced, and imo cannot be considerd as THE BEST fwd handling car
