That's not to say that power-on oversteer isn't a thing. But not so much in a ~14 lb/hp FT86...

I was referring to power-on oversteer, as it is seen in the Arial Atom Stig lap above. This was obvious when I said "losing traction in the rear". Either the use of power with grip or the suspension geometry is creating understeer, but then he uses more power to correct it or to gain oversteer by sliding/kicking the rear end.
Kinda like Chris Harris in this 86 video.

I said oversteer from tire slip throughout the whole post. Regain traction in that situation and the car straightens back to the default understeer, so in that sense, when I said to back off the gas to correct oversteer, I was correct.
