^^^ excellent post^^^
You are definitely correct about the oversteer vs. understeer. A tendency to oversteer allows the driver to rotate the car around the corner better and is preferable to understeer. Although it takes a lot more skill to drive a car like this at the limit and be as fast as possible as compared to a tight setup where anybody can just lift off. Just watch the videos of senna driving the nsx around suzuka-beautiful trail braking oversteer.
Porsches are not known for perfect handling, they tend to suffer from turn-in understeer and then snap oversteer if completely lifted off the gas. The heavy rear end is great for braking and is probably the only real advantage of a rr setup.
