While throttle lift oversteer is lessened in the 996 than earlier models, its still there. If you get into a corner too hot, let off the throttle smoothly while trying to unwind the wheel a bit as you transition to the brakes.
If you abruptly lift while still turning tightly, that rear end will get light and want to come around. If it starts to do so, then put in a BIG dose of opposite lock and hold it for a moment because it won't correct itself with just a flick of the wrist like the more balanced Boxster. I had to learn this for myself the hard way. Just sayin'.
Those body kits were insane!
