I'll second that sentiment. No PSM on my Boxster S, and I haven't missed it.

From the HPDE that I did in May, I was reminded of 2 important lessons: (1) Smooth throttle, steering, and brake inputs will go a long way in maintaining car control; and (2) continuous--and smooth--throttle application exiting a corner will almost ALWAYS keep the back end from swapping places with the front.

Enjoy your new car!
