A car that can oversteer at will and can be made to stop oversteering at will is a joy to autocross. Best you usually can hope for is a car which has near-perfect balance in a conti; /html/autox/2000-07/msg00418.html (9,444 bytes)

Most front-engine/rear-drive cars in stock form plow like farmers. In my experience, RX-7 cars are a happy exception.

But if he wants a quick and dirty solution, the tire pressure trick works. Had a friend here who has a GSL-SE, he did what CJ did, and his oversteer was horrendous.

I know that some folks like to under-inflate the rears, but I hate the mushy, rubber-band transitions with this setup.
