Yep. They "jump" a bit due to axle and
stiff set-up, assuming overinflation is not
the culprit. Which way they go depends on
throttle position, front end alignment, any
curvature of the surface, "side loading" at
the precise moment in time this occurs, etc. Slight "automatic"
correction at the steering wheel should be all that is required to
return to previous course.
This is part of the car's "tossablity" factor
in terms of it's quick "turn in" or ability to
change direction rapidly ("dart around" in traffic) which is what makes
the type so much fun to drive.
"Zero" toe-in enhances this effect, slightly
compromising "directional stability"........
1/8" toe-in improves directional stability,
slightly comprising response to a quick
change in direction ("turn-in").
