I never felt that in the Boxster no mater how hard I tried in wet conditions. Maybe I didn't try hard enough in the Boxster. The 914 was the first Porsche I ever drove. It was also the first car I had an accident in. It spun out into a tree. I was able to drive it home and it got fixed to drive another day.

The Boxster will spin even on the street but you will likely need any combination of the following factors: wet conditions; oil deposits; old tires; cold temperatures; decreasing radius turn/scorner exit; premature throttle application on corner exit; improper throttle or throttle off on oversteer; over aggressive counter steering on oversteer.......I have tried them all....sometimes all at once
