As you mentioned in your post it is what you teach on the first day, this is how the post was intended... The person was a beginner and that's how the post was written. I also don't remember posting that 30% braking and 70% turning was not ok? Maybe I took your post the wrong way.

ah, that famous pix.
you must gone into T8 too fast, either chicken'd out or ran out of track, lifted, tail wiggled, lifted more, wiggled more, then you stomped on brake locked up and off you went!
you should come out with me this weekend. put the supercharger to good use.

Well...I see that I have inspired some passion here 
Really, all I was looking for was some sort of idea how close I was to see my *** handed to me when going hard into a turn. Coming from an S2000 which tends to have the rear "snap out
I just thought it would be nice to know what the "characteristics" of the 911 (stock) are when pushed to the limits.
Of course I know that I should go to a track, parking lot, etc. to truly find out but I was just looking for a little insight between now and when I am able to get to a track. I have had some track experience...although not in my (new to me) 911 so that's the reason for the post.
Thanks!

The S2000 by comparison I found to be an evil handling car, eroding driver confidence and difficult to drive above 8/10s, especially sensitive to any trail braking.

S2000 - a friend of mine was teaching a student in one at a DE. His famous phrase that sticks in my mind was, 'sneeze on the front straightaway & you move two carwidths to one side or the other'.
