Oversteer/Understeer

[Gordon Glasgow <glasgow@serv.net>]

Best definition I've heard is:
Oversteer is that which scares hell out of the passenger.
Understeer is that which scares hell out of the driver.

Here are several books. They all say basically the same thing in
slightly different ways.
"How To Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn
"Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams
"Performance Handling" by Don Alexander
"Prepare To Win" by Carroll Smith
"Race Car Engineering & Mechanics" by Paul Van Valkenburgh
