Porsches (Porchea?) are notorious for snap oversteer on freeway onramps. It's bit me twice now with the Superbeetle. I think it's the mis-matched tire brands front to back.

With the Notchback I cold reduce the turning circle by stepping the back end out in first. It ran 145/165 Klebers.
Oh right, I thought you said oversteer. I figured the VW and the Corvair with their engines behind the rear axle all had bad oversteer and that's what you were talking about. I read what I wanted to see LOL!
