But the car has far too much understeer after getting used to a nimble, lightweight, midengine rear wheel driver. Cutting power to the rear when it starts to slide, even a little bit, pretty much kills the whole experience. Ditto for the 996 C4. They say you won't find more understeer in any Porsche than those two.

Watching an awd 996 on a wet skidpad is a sad sight.
The Boxster is awesome, you can hold the steering wheel at a set angle and just spin around in a circle with the throttle. The 996 plows out of the circle over and over.
