And of course to beat the understeer in autocross, you keep the rear tires loose. Modern cars aren't built to handle that way.
All those drift movies were so silly.

My other buddy had a Mini - Leyland Special imported from Canada, and an 1130cc Inocetti engine he built from block with imported parts and David Vizard's guidance (who dyno'd every possible A-block combination). It was quicker to 90 than a Mustang GT (of course it ran into a brick wall there), but was singularly the most neutral-handling car I've ever driven. The suspension was simply swing arms and giant rubber cones.
(He also had a 1325 Cooper S, but it wasn't in the same league with hydrolastic and the long-stroke motor)
