[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 302423, member: 4527"] I have also experienced the "throttle-off oversteer" aka "lift-off oversteer" with my current set up.. kind of cool. It happened at one of the corner after passing Tropicana before reaching Menara Lien Hoe. It was a wet day too, I wasn't even speeding. I take the corner and the car in front slows down to turn into Menara Lien Hoe. I turn and lift throttle. The fish tail happened. It was a mild one but its EXCITING!!! :D I do agree with bundy, oversteer has nothing to do with speed and have everything to do with chassis balance or traction variance between front and rear wheel. Normal JDM sedans are set up to understeer, so no matter how fast u take corner, the car will only screech and understeer, not oversteer. Until u lift off, CG transfered to the front, rear contact patch or traction or weight or grip reduce, oversteer will prevail in this situation. So its not speed. For a perfect balance car powering through corner at high speed, all 4 wheels skid together and that's not called under or over steer. [/QUOTE]
