Thank you for the enlightening response

 Let me get this straight. You acknowledge those factors are all part of cornering performance, then proceed to state that since the OP wants to manage under/oversteer those factors don't come into play.
 Want to try that again?
Or maybe you can explain how to induce understeer or oversteer without turning the steering wheel
