PSM is less of a driver aid than ABS and no one here is bitching about ABS.
Any 996 or 997 based street car (tho there are some great ones and I have owned a few) are CADILLACS next to a real race car.

Guys like that would have had had to learn how to actually drive their cars if they didn't have electornics. And they would have had their oh **** moment at a much slower speed, at the slower group, where it is safer. Rather than pulling stunts like that and causing all of us to lose track time.

Preach all you want about how much you hated PSM in your 996 Turbo...but the system has evolved and improved in the five years since.

I posted about my experience and why I think PSM sucks, and all you can muster up is "get over yourself?"
How about contributing something from your experience driving the GT2 or the Turbo?

After the suspension fully setup and so on though its a world of a difference, still not a GT2, 2 different worlds!
