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.
Its all about weight distribution. Putting lots of weight over the back wheels is not necessarily a good thing!

My daily driver is a Mercedes Class AMG Sport and its an under steering beast, which only gets worse in the wet. In the snow if I boot it whilst turning in, of course it will power oversteer.... but generall the front end breaks away far sooner than the back and the GT86 does feel very oversteery when compared.
