Post Do Lightnings tend to under or oversteer

Got into a tight corner and the front really bit in and the rear came around. I wasn't on the gas at all. This suprised and scared me abit since my 98 mustang GT is the oppisite, it understeers (pushes) in hard corners.

Anyone experience oversteer on their L?

Thought for safety's sake, most vehicles had some understeer built into them.

Mine pushes, but in bumps and ruts and throttle it can come around..

I've had the back-end come around on me a couple of times (always on sharp left hand turns). Both times the temp was 35-40 degrees so I just chalked it up to the tires/road being cold. I wasn't heavy on the gas when this happened either.

Just came back from Big Bend . And I can tell you that IF you aren't on tha gas alittle it will oversteer bad. I ran the 150 class and there were a few turn that I didn't have the throttle on hard enough and I could feel the rear starting to catch me. But it was a blast[surpriced alot of vettes]
