The "snap" oversteer is partially due to the mid-engine design, more rear weight & grip due to wider rear tires, and a lower MOI, but I think the biggest reason is the short wheelbase.

I was considering a constant throttle position and then moving to more open as in corner exit. Perhaps you are speaking to the corner entry phase. I too in the 986 can and do get understeer and have not yet properly reliably learned to correct as you have described. I am a beginner. While accelerating in a sweeper, I have noticed the car twich nose out...to understeer when lifting for traffic. It is really pronounced as if the body is flexing....and I can't feel that the rears were sliding, or can't believe it. Would it have something to do with my differential. If I get a chance I will try going back on the throttle to get the car pointed accurately
