<VV> NCIS-LA 1955 Porsche Spyder understeer ?

I guess that was one reason why GM recommended such low front tire  
pressures for the front (15psi).  I'll stick to 20 to 22 for mine  though.

Hi  Charles, severe understeer can occur in some instances even in 
Corvairs. A  good example would be taking a right onto a sidestreet (too fast) with 
the  brakes on. If there's the slightest amount of dust, sand, or other 
adhesion  limiting factor like rain, you will run straight off across the 
sidestreet  into the curb, ditch, or other car waiting at the stop sign. The trick 
is to  hit the brakes in a straight line before the turn to get some weight 
transfer  to the front wheels, release the brakes before you turn in and 
gently get back  on the power going through the turn.
