If you got into a long sweeper the tail would just come out and with an LSD up front you could just hammer on the throttle and the nose would pull you around. It was a perfect FWD drift car.

On cars setup close to neutral or with just a little understeer you can bump up the tire pressure in the rear and get them to just neutral or a little oversteer. Also a big rear sway bar helps.......
Easy enough to get a 911 understeering......ths is the sharpest FWD car Ive ever driven. Renault Megane RS250. It has a trick front diff arrangement and its just a awesome thing. It will oversteer on lift off. Wife wants one badly.....
