Take a Porsche Performance Driving school and you will change your mind about this statement.

You can stop a Boxster faster by modulating your brakes to just before the ABS kicks in.

There are a few counter intuitive maneuvers for collision avoidance in the Boxster, that you will learn on the PPDS course.

Knowing the limits of your car and noticing the warnings that indicate impending loss of traction will keep you out of bad situations.

Sticky tires are good since your in full control when you are attached to the ground, and that allows you to avoid bad things in your path without crashing into or spinning out after the avoidance.

Just sayin that the PPDS course is a real eye opener and allow you to drive with much more confidence and give you the skills to avoid collisions and loss of control even on wet, soapy pavement, plus its incredibly fun and you'll make some new friends.
