Also, by "snap overtseer" I mean, the rear tires break loose and yaw rate rapidly increases. Not necessarily going ass over teakettle into the nearest cones, weeds, or mountainside.
The fact that you're telling someone to compensate for factory designed understeer by inducing a poor handling quirk of that car with an even poorer driving technique is what prompted me to make that original comment.
