If you take a corner where the maximum entry speed is say 50mph in both a FWD and RWD car at 70mph in RWD or FWD, you are going to exceed the maximum traction available from the front tires, and the car will understeer. So yes, the ONLY time a properly setup and driven FWD car will understeer where a RWD car won't is under acceleration. It's just takes a different approach to correctly setup a FWD car to eliminate the understeer (assuming the car is properly driven, as again, improperly driven cars will ALL understeer regardless of which and how many wheels are putting the power to the ground).

i once witnessed a new lotus elise understeer like you wouldn't believe at my local autocross. the guy had no idea how to drive his car, so he mashed the gas and made it understeer everywhere. anything can understeer.

The problem with FWD is recovering from understeer, not to mention inability to have more than X amount of usable power.

I remember when I saw the '97 ITR in Championship white for 27K @ Ball Honda, I thought to myself, "that is one overpriced Integra!" True, too many different variables that can potentially skew the outcome; hp, weight, wheelbase etc.
