Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

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
