If you're taking a corner in isolation (no worries about what happens before or after), is it faster to take it with a slight understeer or slight oversteer? Assuming the driving is perfect and the you can adjust damper settings to induce the desired behaviour in the car. Looking to understand the best way to maximize the available grip in the tires.

Faster in what regard? Faster average speed through the corner? Faster entry speed? Faster exit speed?
Assuming it's a perfect 90 degree bend, for the highest average speed through the corner, slight oversteer.
However, using the damper to induce the desired behavior means you're reducing grip to get that desired behavior.
