"Locked In"

There are some nice country roads where I live and yesterday was taking a curve a little hot when the car seemed to "Lock In" a line around the curve and was a little too wide. I was unable to correct. It only lasted a couple of seconds but did not feel good. I didn't try to hit the gas really hard to breakout. Car was in SPORT PLUS.

I can imagine situations where this would be very not good. Anyone else experience this?

Are you talking about "Understeer"? What tires do you have, what pressures were you running, how hot were the tires, what was the ambient temp.? lots of variables, including you were going to fast for the corner. Had it happen once with my old 991 C2S on half worn out Pirelli's and too high tire pressure. Swapped Pirelli for Michelins and went up to 255's in front. Completely solved the problem.

I've never had the car not do exactly what I asked. It drives like it's on rails. Sounds like too fast for conditions or tire issues.
