But it's not coasting perse.
If its coasting; no brakes either..
you gave up ALL controle over the balance.
you have to steer, you cannot avoid that
and steering will make the car weight move around to the outside
you cannot control it in any way except for not steering.
In reality; neutral you will still the brake pedal.
So for RWD, that braking pedal will be on you front wheels with a +- 70 % front bias. and those tires are already working for the steering part.
So not coasting leaves you with only one way to play with the balance
1 its one way only.. you cannot unbrake
2 it affects the grip level of your wheels who are steering
3 your rear wheels aren't doing anything for you other then rolling
it is all about controlling the weight
and coasting or neutral with brake pedal usage is pisspoor control of that weight
It's like cycling with your feet off the pedals
sure you can go down a hill like that
but you won't like it for long
