That depends on whether the front or rear oversteers or understeers.. What about front end oversteer?Originally posted by Treza360 View PostYou forgot the beginning of that where oversteer is where the rear of the car hits the wall first and understeer is where the front of the car hits the wall first.

Peugeot are the style setters in small cars. This is a reasonable attempt at a Peugeot style front end but somehow they always stuff it up.
