Ok, we all have different thoughts on this subject. Here's what I have
found. Each car handles differently. There are major differences between
front and rear wheel drive vehicles. BUT, there is also weight distribution,
center of gravity, vehicle weight etc that affect it's handling. Take my car
for instance. `89 Honda Accord Lxi, front wheel drive, fuel-injected. It was
my first Front-WD car, so I took it down to Portland International Raceway
for a Race Driver Training class through a Racing Club. It was REALLY
enlightening. I found that in MY car I steer into a skid (standard for
front-wheel drive), but I needed to let off the gas (Non-typical for
front-wheel drive!). Some cars have understeer, (the front slides farther
than the rear in a skid, lessening the effect of steering), and others have
oversteer (the rear wants to slide past the front, typical of *many* rear
wheel drive cars). There is no point in arguing about right and wrong. If
you find what works for *your* car, practice enough to make it habit. I also
recommend professional training. Contact your local Race Track and ask for
the number of any clubs. Most have some training program, and many don't
mind having people come through for personal awareness reasons (as I did).
