The key difference for me is that I do not powerslide the car very often in the corners (in fact I avoid it like the plague).

If you're having a problem with oversteer, trying playing with tire pressure. A couple thousand miles ago I had my car aligned to my specifications (-0.75 deg camber front, -2.0 deg rear) and the alignment tech inflated all 4 tires to the same pressure for the alignment and didnt' return them to my previous settings. The car was so loose it was ridiculous. I had previously been running 32-33 front and 35 psi rear. This resulted in more rear cornering grip (better sidewall stiffness) with a slight loss of straightline traction (which makes for easier launches on the street).

With all 4 tires set at 35 psi, there was just too much front grip. I htink its the same problem the auto-x guys experience on race tires. The increase in front grip is proportionally larger than the increase in rear and you get wild oversteer (I don't have a big problem at the auto-x on street tires).

Try the pressure change, it was incredibly noticeable to me.
