Ed,
Under "normal" circumstances you would see little differences. The problems would likely occur on cornering on wet streets where the front end would be more likely to "let go" first. Remember than as Sterling Moss, the famous race car driver, said in the law suit against the Corvair "It doesn't matter if you have understeer and plow off the road front end first or oversteer and leave the road rear end first, either way you are out of control."

Front wheel drive cars with understeer are just harder to get back under control than a rear wheel drive car with the same understeer.
