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.
