well guys, i really was surprised and wtf'ed when my ford focus ST 12
oversteered though it is a FF, it oversteered because i did abrupt right and left
turns on a straightway, i thought it wouldn't oversteer but it did.
Why? lol
Doing an abrupt left then a right is essentially doing a Scandinavian Flick, which essentially uses inertia and weight transfer to force the car to slide.
you can oversteer a FF car as easily or more easily than any other type as there is very little weight on the back. The difference it will likely happen under deceleration instead of acceleration like a rear wheel drive car.
This is no real surprise, poorly driven or hooned FF cars will lift-off oversteer. My own car slides the back out quite nicely on a greasy road near a local supermarket. :-)

LOL, i had my fun when i still had my 325 e36 12 years ago, there was one corner near my parents house, that was so wide, you could easily drift around the corner without really hurting anyone.
the good old days!
I find the FWD physics much more responsive in GT6 now. You can get lift-off oversteer to work and the car's line tightens noticeably based on throttle position....And its car dependent sinces cars like the ST or the Clio RS are much more prone to do that(because sporty) then something like the stock Fit...
Same here. Finally I can set up my EK9 and DC2 to handle as sharp as I want. Lift-off oversteer is a great way to get around some of the tighter corners quick enough to keep up with people coming out of them.
