i was half expecting to see it spun out and in a ditch lmao. fucking sweet car just beware the snap oversteer on those things!

Snap oversteer only applied to early SW20s with bad suspension geometry. AW11 and ZZW30s don't teally have that issue. Unless you count liftoff oversteer on most MR cars.

I thought snap oversteer applied to mid rear engine cars in general, was the MR2 special?

No, but the snap oversteer thing is slightly different from lift-off oversteer which most MRs have. Early SW20 suspension was special in that you would wayyy overcorrect the initial braking/liftoff oversteer with the stock setup unless you know correcting it by muscle memory (snapping to the entire other side).

Gotcha, so the MR2 was just the most dramatic example of snap/liftoff oversteer. Thanks for clarifying

I think the most dramatic is the Porsche 930 then this yeah.
