Can an AWD 997 Turbo ( or any AWD Porsche) be slid around a curve as well as a RWD (ie 997 S) car?

 

Probably not. Wait untill the 997 GT-2 comes out. I'm sure you can slide that one just fine.

 

Maybe not as easily, but it can be done. I have seen several videos where this has been done as well as some impressive donuts. I have read that once PSM is off and Sport is engaged, the PTM system will alow the majority of power to be delivered to the rear wheels even though they are spinning and the car is sliding as long as the driver is inputing the necessary amount of corrective counter steer.
