The water cooled ones are actually exceptionally well balanced, but I guess you mean the last few years of the air cooled ones. Yes, they were prone to oversteer, but mostly under power, not braking. They can be setup to grreatly minimize it though as we have seen out at autocross with some really fast older Porsches.
