I have intentionally put this car into controlled slides before...

On public roads with traffic? The curve you describe is off camber and challenging on a race course. Save your jollies for the race track, if you've ever driven on one. This is the kind of stuff that gives Porsche drivers a bad name out there.

Public roads are not designed to be driven at excessive speeds and those that choose to ignore, suffer their own consequences. Glad innocent drivers weren't hurt...

(From a father of two teen drivers, part-time racer and PCA DE instructor).

It takes years to realize and admit your mistake when you cause an accident.
In my case it took me 10 years to admit that "hey, I was driving too fast on an unknown road" when I totaled a car and broke a dozen of bones

But, no one will change his driving habits just because he was criticized on a forum. So, thank you huewish for sharing this experience. Learn and move on... You are very lucky that no one was hurt....
