Meat is exactly right. Also mid-engine means that SNAP oversteer is exactly that. I think it was stated earlier in this thread, the Fed Elise (like the S2) has induced understeer from the factory to make it safer for most drivers. With this setup the car should be safer on public roads.
As another example of factory induced understeer, the Boxster comes with 205's on the front and 255s on the rear. This together with the suspension setup and a rear brake pressure regulator ensures that the back will never step out under braking situations. Adding traction control stops the back stepping out under acceleration.
At the track, I have traction control OFF and run 245's all round. This balances the car nicely.
I hope this helps understanding.
