How is it that I see people drifting these cars when PSM can't be switched off?
Please forgive me, I'm a total newb to the brand.
I just got a 987.2 CS. I'm driving my favorite mountain road and try to get a little sideways on a few bits that I typically enjoy in my M-car. I have the PSM off, but the car still intervenes.
Question, how can I turn this damn thing off?
I am not asking people to lecture me on why they think it's a good thing to have it on or any of that stuff. I just want to know if and how I can turn it off.
Do I need to make a special switch to something to disable it? Is there a write up? Do I have to jump up and down 3 times and snap my heels or some ****? Must I summon Ferdinand from the grave and make a special request? Please tell me, lol.

With the nanny off , it is easier to snap the back end. Try an auto X , safest place to learn what to expect from a mid engine platform.

What makes you feel that the PSM is still at work ? I had a 911 C4 that would talk to me when the rear was about to let go. Have a Cayman now and it won't give the slightest hint until it goes ! And then it just laughs !

I can state for a fact that the rear end can be kicked out when PSM is turned off. In my case I was getting on an on-ramp and there was some sand at the turn. The car kicked out very fast and unexpectedly but it was also very easy to correct.

I'm getting mine into some tight hairpins with plenty of runoff and it just continues to take away power or apply brakes on its own.
Again, this is my first Porsche and for such a drivers car standing, this is a real bummer. i sound like a crying child, but damn, i was not expecting that level of nannies in a car.

could be some confusion going on in the open diff. I find that when applying power coming out of really tight hairpins that it can feel like psm is cutting in but its actually the open diff that is just struggling to get any power down on one of the tires. Messes up almost all my slides. Planning on changing the stock unit out for a Guard or OS Giken.

a 987.2 can get pretty loose with the PSM off, in the right conditions (at 1:32):
If i remember correctly, the PSM will re-activate under braking. There is a module in the front right fender that can be disconnected to eliminate this (as mentioned above)
