Normally it would mean too much speed, or too much steering angle, and I tried both with limited success. So I tried to give more throttle and it worked! Basically I think you are using the on power oversteer that is inherent in the car to balance out the off throttle understeer?
Still have stock suspension underneath, and this may all change when I go to a square setup and put SPL arms on the car, but it was rather enlightening to me using power in the car...quite a change from a 125 hp Spec Miata!!!

Thanks Tracy! Do you feel you can drive the hell out of it like you can the Miata?
It's hard for anything to compare to an SM car. They're phenomenal through the turns and will reward you with a little more straight line speed. I just don't want to drive one everyday. I'm making the change from an ITS RX7. Less power than the Nissan and decent (at best) through the turns. I'm just trying to consolidate everything into 1 car.
