"Loose" refers to rear loose end-oversteer. I have noticed that in AutoX they tend to like it better and it definitely makes sense since they have to do a lot more dancing and sharp turns than us track guys. I have only done autox a few times and it's not my thing personally, but man you learn a lot about how the car behaves.

Megan, I will agree 1100 lb springs were a bad example above, but 5000 would cause the condition I was trying to describe-trying to demonstrate a point that there is a number, that all of the basics break down, and the problem exponentiates. With slicks and full aero, I can see 1100 being very reasonable on a 750 lb corner, especially at 1G.
