991 rear wiggle
Hello folks,
‘I keep reading in reviews etc how the Porsche rear will wiggle in turns which is supposedly fun ?. I never experienced it , does it happen when you push a 911 hard in turns and lift ?
is it it easy to replicate a wiggle ?

Thanks for the morning chuckle guys ! I wonder if the OP is asking about RAS ?

I was just thinking about it this morning. Mine never did. But I didn't push to 10/10 in normal driving. Between PDCC, RAS and, in my case, AWD - Porsche pretty well dialed that out. Some of that may also be due to a neutral OEM spec alignment. I have a 993 C4S now with a little extra camber dialed in and I can definitely feel the back end want to move a little and it's easy to tell that the engine is in the back. You can use that momentum to swing (not slide) the car around, which is a cool feeling. It's a primitive way to handle a car - Porsche's new way is probably way faster and more efficient. But not as fun, IMO.

Huh...I've done lots of autocross and some track time in a 991.1 and would never say I felt a wiggle. I've pushed hard enough to do 180s in AX too. Now I did have a 4S which has the 305s so maybe that makes a difference in settling it down a bit?

I felt this when on the power hard coming out of a tight turn. I thought it was maybe PTV directing torque to one side, but think it might just be normal handling characteristics. It isn't unsettling, rather it's fun! I don't have RAS.

The only time I get any rear wiggle on the C4S is when the tires are almost dead.

I've felt the wiggle... Sport plus, around a bend, give it the shoe... It will wiggle.
