Yeah tell me about it... Through the years I have been lucky enough to drive alot of fast vintage and vintage race car 911's, no full bore 935's, but a 934 and more then a few 930's. Luckily I know how to handle them when they want to bite back. I still remember the day I swore I would never own a 930. I was asked to take a local one for sale out for a check ride for a guy a few states over. It was a real nice 1978, the sweet spot with the bigger engine and lighter chassis white with a light tan interior. I was not really paying attention and shooting the shit with the owner, when I decided to hit an on ramp in 3rd gear and low speed.... The rpms where low and I was checking for bogging or flat spots totally forgetting it was a 930... I had given it almost full throttle from low rpm as I went up this nice curve to the right to enter the freeway... Next thing I know the the turbo hits and the rear kicks out on me. Thankfully I did not lift and just countersteered and left it on the throttle till the turn straightened out. It was a real code brown moment... I almost any other car you lift the throttle to correct, in a 911 you do that and it all gets worse. It has to do with polar inertia and weight transfer with the huge rear tires trying to hold the heavy lump of an engine sitting behind them in place. You only brake in straight lines in an old 911, esp pre 1969 short wheelbase ones.
No, you never lift your foot off the throttle in rwd cars in bad situations. Reflexes must be top as a driver to correct instantly with the throttle and the steering, exactly as you did
馃榾 With 911s they must be a bit more sharp, that is true though, they don't forgive at all.
