Having the PSM kick in on a public road is quite a feat. I've had my base 997 w/ 18" wheels, PASM and Sport Chrono out for over ten track days now. In sport mode, the PSM does not appear to kick in either when I'm trail braking or using trailing throttle oversteer techniques to get the car to rotate.
The only times it has kicked in was with jerky inputs. Be smooth with your steering and throttle inputs, and the PSM will permit you to get really loose.

There probably aren't a handful of drivers here that can drive a Porsche even to 80% of its potential, including foremost yours truly. Maybe I'm just in a ****ty mood today, and no disrespect is intended, but sometimes I cringe when I read these unrealistic posts.
