How does the handling in this car compare to FWD. In wat ways is the RWD better handling?

With RWD you can dial in oversteer and understeer if you are a good driver. With FWD understeer is what one generally experiences and it is hard to get rid of it. A good driver can use power in a RWD car to his advantage in cornering by just pedal adjustments. Though RWD cars are much harder to race they are more rewarding when handled by a good driver. Also in RWD it is easier to get into touble but it is also easier to get out of that trouble. In FWD it is hard to loose control cut once you do it is extremely hard to regain control of the car. I race both FWD and RWD in auto-x and road race and I find FWD easier but when your in RWD it requires more work but it is much better in the end.
