From the wikipedia article (which was written by who knows who):
"To put things in even simpler terms, when you turn into a corner, oversteer is when the car turns more than you expected and understeer is when it turns less than you expect."

Seems to me one cannot objectively define "overX" and "underX" without objectively defining "X" first -- and X here is "steering". When does the car turn more than you expect? And can different people have different expectations? Is it oversteer if you already expect it?

I know very little on this subject but I liked the 987S MUCH more than the 997 I tested. Much more neutral and controllable.
