I don't think you can make all these contributions to snap oversteer without considering the engine was placed at the rear - of course that is going to prove a big factor in almost all the factors you made. If the engine wasn't at the back, the car would be a totally different machine
I want to thank you for your comments . Sincerely, I value dissenting points of view more than confirming views since they challenge people to truly examine and refine their viewpoints 8) . So I would like to encourage you to continue to voice what I believe is an opposing view that the rear engine design provides a great platform for a sports car.

Based on what you pointed out I have refined what I said to try and clarify what I intended to say. Hopefully it is clearer. I think your input is really beneficial. Thanks
