This entry is very clearly written, with no errors I can complain about
In a footnote, you state that the Porsche 911 is well known for entering hedges backwards, it might be worth noting that many other cars set up for sporty handling have the same trait to some degree. The Peugeot 205 GTI was a front wheel drive example, and the current Honda S2000 is a front-engined rear-wheel-drive one, both are sensitive to lift-off snap oversteer more than other cars of similar layouts.

Thanks - but never mind about the commenting in Peer Review (have made the same mistake myself!).
That's true, some cars are predisposed towards lift-off oversteer, but I'd probably need a very detailed entry on suspension dynamics to carry that one off.
Key: Complain about this post
Well done!
