Mathematically neutral and real world neutral are two different things, in my experience. For example, I consider my BRZ neutral, but everybody that's ridden with me comments on how "active" (aka tail happy) I like my car to be. Someone that prefers that little bit of understeer is likely driving a car that's actually mathematically neutral |
neutrality can change with throttle application
If you can't spin your rear tires at a given speed, then you want a looser car. If you can spin your tires at a given speed, then you want to make sure you know which way the rear will go when they spin. Neutral is relative, but loose is fast.
