ah-huh, OK

 

+1... Damn, e-brakes and sh*t...

 

u can get more control out of an ebrake most times than using your brakes alone. i dont care, all i know is it worked perfectly fine, what ever it did it did and now my car is sitting in one piece dent and scratch free in my garage

 

Ginger snap.

The question I asked was rhetorical. I answered it in the same post and you verified it with your "I don't know...it just worked" reply.

If you have a 911, you potentially have a large financial committment in a car. Do the same for the driver (i.e. you) and invest in a good high performance driver program. Florida is ripe with good schools. Try a Skip Barber class in Daytona or Sebring. I am sure Homestead does as well although I have not been.

You will learn more than you probably think.

My apologies for taking this thread OT.

 

Now this is a nice example of snap oversteer. PSM and all of the electronics still only make up so much for poor driving technique. Porsche designed it to try help keep dentists out of the ditch. I personally do not like the invasive unnatural feeling of it kicking it, most time too early. Go get some instruction on a closed course and don’t push it on the street. As to using the E-brake at any time then parking, this isn’t Tokyo drift, quit giving people stupid advice.

Keeping the car neutral, get all of your shifting and braking done before entering the corner. After turn in slowly roll on the power. If you came in too fast and it starts to slide, keep turning into it and as the front pushes slowly roll onto the throttle until it starts to straighten out. Hitting the brake is the worst thing you can do, and pulling the ebrake would help the rear end slide more. I wonder why places like LA dismantlers stay in business?

One key thing with a rear engine car (it applies to all other) is that you can always add more throttle while in a turn, but if you go in too fast thinking your Michael Schumacher the rear will slide out and swing you around like a pendulum. You cannot beat physics, only bend. A Boxster spins like a top, a 911 spins like a pendulum, which is the reason it didn’t do a full spin. All the suspension adjustments in the world wont make up for a drivers skills. Firming things up is a good idea, but adding beefier sway bars will help make the car easier to feel out and get closer to the limit without unknowingly crossing it.

Be safe and have fun!

 

i wanted the rear to slide, its the fact it didnt come around that go me to my situation, i think i really need to to show you what exactly i was going around, ive been to a full racing and car control program in england at the three sisters race track, the ebrake is what got me back on course, im not some tool driving a car i dont know how to handle, you cant get the full picture with out seeing the actual place and the vent taking place, im not stating this to go against anyones comments or anything like that, just stating what i did worked and worked like i knew it would

 

and oh this was not in a porsche but my FWD MKV gti one of the other cars i own. haha i know thats going to make a big difference in the sitaution and didnt mention it earlier
