Doesn't help that in that video I had been on a nearly year long autocross hiatus, so most of the problems you see are the loose nut behind the wheel..
it happens, when i went to the mr2 on hankooks compared to the 951 i was pissed as ****. i thought the car was a understeering pig, no power to push the nose around etc etc. but really i was driving it poorly, too fast on entry, not fast enough back on the power after turn-in.

in the cold, or rain that problem still manifests itself on that car, i need more adjustable suspension to make it easier to deal with. cause those mid engined cars, they will push on you, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it besides ride it out.

video showing the problem (understeer on entry, oversteer on exit):
