Question Oversteer in Evo8?

Is it difficult to get some oversteer out of the Evo8 when exiting a turn? Or are the tires too sticky?

I've managed to get throttle-on oversteer in the wet, but the only time I've gotten the tail loose in the dry is under braking/turn-in...

One night I had no choice.. It was either go into a median (understeer), or do the wicked flick... So I braked real hard and jerked that wheel, and the *** came right out in a totally controlled manner... It was awesome, and the Audi TT was like, "whoa"... We pulled to the side and he said it looked like something out of a movie... But I haven't been able to repeat it since...

WHERE do you guys go to drive like this? Anyone have videos of EVOS? I just got my EVO 2 days ago and I'm trying to collect some videos and some nice pictures of them in action

Very carefully on empty roads in the middle of the night... And it helps to know exactly where the fuzz is when you're doing it too...

If you want oversteer all you have to do is go around a 90-degree turn in first gear and floor it. If you're going above 8 mph boost will hit mid-way through the turn and you will get oversteer. Also, you can do this is second gear in the wet.

My car starts to rotate when I lift off the gas even just a little.

Maybe I am going faster than you around curves

Set up the suspension with 0 toe in the front and IIRC, 1 degree toe out in the rear. The rear will step out quite nicely...
But in the rain...

Just my opinion, not a recommendation.

leaving the theater last friday after 2F2F. there was a group of people across the street and i couldn't help myself. I got sideways as all hell leaving the parking lot. First gear throttle blip and drop the clutch. It's a no-no but it was a special occassion.

I can get all the oversteer I want at the rallycross events . Once I learned how to get the back to come around it was amazing

i can oversteer at any time, just about... all you need to do is turn your wheel all the way, and gun it! i've been able to do this in all but fifth gear... not enough room at the tracks to get enough speed... but drift control is a pain right now for me... wheels ARE damn sticky!
