I always said I wanted a personalized plate for my 911 that said "never lift" if you do you better be prepared to get fully back into the power hard and fast.

Easing up on the brakes will do almost nothing to control the rear end if it is out of whack. The antidote is getting on the gas to transfer the weight to the rear and hook it up.

Of course, if it is way out of shape, Jeremy's comment about both feet in is the method of risk management.

Thanks for the comments on Jeremy, Ed, and others, on what to do...

One more question...ahh, "both feet in"? Do you mean one on the gas, one on the brake? I can't picture it.

Thanks,

Clutch and brake....you want to neutralize your drivetrain, and avoid killing the engine.

And you use your gas and your brake to control your weight distrubution

This topic i find very interesting and informative as I am learning a lot not be ing a track guy. My instinct would tell me nOT to get on the gas hard as I would not want to do anything to unsettle the car even further. I can see easing the gas slightly such as curling yout toes in your show amout, but getting on the gas hard when the back end is coming around " seams " like the car will knee jerk .. anyway just musing and looking for input .

Nobody said it is full-on or full-off the gas.....each situation requires different input. But, sometimes, full gas is required. Remember also, a 3.2L 80's vintage 911 will be different than a fire breathing Ruf twin turbo.
