If I don’t modulate the brakes it’ll go wherever wants lol and of course the braking distance is longer but with the all weight in the front, it’s still controllable and predictable. Locking up happened so much to me that it becomes second nature for me to cadance brake when I feel like I’m applying to much pressure lol.
IIRC, Toyota MR2s have the tendency to overslide because it’s rear engined.
Yes MR2 is prone to lift off oversteer. It’s technically mid-engined, MR2 stands for mid-engined RWD or Mid-ship roundabout. Also read that this trait is overexageratted, it’s indeed a characteristic of all mid-engined cars. I believe it was very affordable back in the days and after many years people are still picking them up as cheap project cars… putting Camry V6s in them etc.
you’re essentially giving novices the driving layout of gods (aka mid-engined RWD) for people who presumably have only driven FWD or traditional FR RWD…
Strangely, the only layout that is not prone to lift-off oversteer is rear engined RWD, which is only found on Porsche 911. i read that the car enjoys being provoked like that, it’s how it generates grip and rotate lol, just like a rally car. not surprised that it’s the fastest NA car on nurburgring
