Just want to make sure the resst of us are aware they have the "right" to play there. Please.
Moral to the story? If you are not the fastest guy on the track and are holding poeple up with all your sliding (because you just want to) do us all a favor and get your butt in a group comensurate with your laps times.

"you realize that is the slower way around the track?"
And I replied:
"And please, while I am not the fastest guy on the track, I am in the fast group. So spare me about the slowest way around the corner."
So, in which sentence of my post did I say that I like driving sideways on the track? I simply said that I want to, and the Turbo won't let me. You think that they let you be in the fast group because you slide around on the track? No, first of all, if you do that, your arm will be sore from all the point by's that you'll have to do.
I brought up the fast group because you seem to imply in your post that you are the only one who can drive on the track, and that there is no validity to me wanting my car to do what normal cars do when you get on the gas with a steering wheel bound up at low speed for fun.

Keep in mind that this thread that you started is about the Turbo, of which I have one, of which I made a comment about its crap PSM.
Why don't you come up with something on your own.

Of course poweron over steer is slower through the corners. Hell, you don't even need to be in the fast group to know that. But perhaps some think that they are the only one who knows anything about drinving on the track, and hence the resonse.

This is different than the power on oversteer that is quite safe and fun at 30mph that the PSM will not allow.
Oversteer is not a big deal, not being able to control it is. Mod the driver before modding the car.

EVO Mag scans of 997 TT Test Drive
I found these scans from the latest EVO over on 6Speed (thanks DJ).
It's the same Speed Yellow 997TT in the same snowy tundra!
ENJOY!

Just got a FedEx letter from PCNA.
The new Turbo looks exactly like the test car, except its got the ugly 5 spoke rim that is going to be impossible to clean.
The official specs? Pretty sad:
3.6 liter M64
480HP
460 lb-ft
505 ib-ft with the overboost option
3494 lbs with manual, 3571 with tippy magic tronic
193mph top speed
0 to 60 in 3.7
Oh, and the ugly side intake middle slit stays as well.

Pics from my own camera as soon as they back it down the ramp into my drive way. MSRP was $71,595.00... so far I paid $79,450.00 after my $150 dealer coupon for this 20KB photo.
Until something shows up looking vaguely like five figures worth of machinery, I sip Pepto-Vodka cocktails.
Lord, hear my prayer....
