Default Finally got my 911 to kick-***

After pushing her to the limit on several occasions, I finally got the rear to kick and do a half-spin on one of the deserted back- roads near my house. The rear spun but the car didn't totally lose grip and I was able to quickly regain control.

I wouldn't try it again on a public road again although it was a "rush" to get to the know at its limits!

Yeah. Have you ever spun it 360 or totally lose control? What is the the trick to staying in control. I am no advanced driver.

If you start to slide, DO NOT LIFT OFF, commit to throttle and you will get it back. That's the biggest thing you need to learn on 911s!

I also had to go through the learning curve coming from front-heavy engine cars!

Keep PSM on in street driving, you should only have it intervene occasionally when driving aggressively. PSM on in track driving to learn the limits, then switch it off.
