Any Former Air Cooled Beetle Owners?

I was just reminiscing on my early VW years when I came to a realization that my first car, a 63 bug, never had any nasty understeering issues that our 911's are plagued with. Why is that? They share the same ancestry, air cooled rear engine design with a front end that is so light that you could lift it off the ground. I know my old bug had a bit of oversteer with bald rear tires in the rain but never noticed any understeer.

I was wondering if anyone else shared the same experience.


Cheers,

Joe
