I have experienced a similar wobbling at the rear, usually after a pit stop at Taco Bell.

Oh yeah,....I know that drill too. Worst thing has got to be Burger King onion rings - I won't eat them ever unless I'm going on a long trip with my brother. Had to have my cabin air filter replaced prematurely - NOT covered under warranty as it was considered 'abused by some ***.'

There may be one catch for some of you, I live in Norway. Everyone who are interested, send me a PM for address

I see many of you thinks my question, maybe or is the biggest joke in history, but I am not kidding. I have driven snow races for some years so I quite used to drive fast in diffucult conditons. The reason I asked is because this is my first winter ever with a Porsche, and I actually thought this forum had the best knowledge for an answer.

i dont think i have ever owned a car that is drivable on ice....dude, dont risk crashing an expensive sports car by driving on ice. ice melted by salt = slush...maybe a little less insane. go out and get a subaru to drive fast on snow and ice...then at least if you smash it you wont hate yourself....as much.

The only gas allowed to pass through my car is at least 91 octane

I have been thinking about that even before I got the car and will take a decision about during the spring. Anyway, that was planned anyhow.

If I get a winter car, that doesn't solve this case. I am not sure if my problem is related to the condition, and if not the problem still exist even on tarmac.

One suggestion: Turn off PMS, if the car drives the same, there is something wrong with you PMS. If the car is MORE unstable and spins like hell...well, I suggest you get a hummer to drive on ice.
