Yes. Tons. I went to a car control clinic yesterday I could not get it to understeer but the oversteer was still very controlled my instructors where surprised by my technique
I could tell it coming on in my seat. Left it go out about 10 degrees out. Steer a little into the slide. Let up on the gas and let the steering wheel slide in your hands. Once corrected hands firmly on the wheel but no tight moderate smooth pressure on the gas. Good to go. I have no "track" experience but the steering would always seem to come back to center and would straighten it self out. I don't know if all boxsters would do this or mine is unique. Another thing about the C C C. My senses were still at a pretty high level driving home from the event. Coming up to a yellow turning red stop light. Come to a uneventful stop. One of the points the instructor stressed was try to plan a escape route when driving. Now the top was down. Just enjoying the car and the accomplishment of doing my first event. I won first place in the breaking comp. I look in the rear view mirror here comes a women in a Chrysler mini van. She is going way to fast to be able to stop I hear her ABS going in and out. I moved up about two foot into the intersection to give her more room and was preparing to go thru the light if needed. The instructor said pay attention to your surroundings. Sorry for going off topic. I just could not help myself. Jinx

Tire sizes are 205x50-17 on the fronts and 255x40-17 on the rears. The owners manual also lists this size for 17 inch wheels.

Next time you get a chance, try this;

Left it go out about 10 degrees. Steer a little into the slide quickly while giving it a little more throttle, and then correct back and drive it out straight.

The goal of this approach is to increase grip onto the sliding rear wheels by adding throttle (which shifts weight (and thus, grip) rearward). If you're quick with your hands then it will look and feel like a controlled drift.
