I find myself agreeing with both of you :\

I have my car setup to be less understeery, which I find makes it feel really neutral in the dry. In the wet it wants to oversteer everwhere, but I don't think that's a consequence of the suspension tuning or chassis setup-- just a matter of lack of grip. I don't see how you'd avoid this though except by driving something like a 911 where you've got a lot of weight on the driven wheels.
