Make sure the alignment is spot on.

Have all of the suspension re-checked and tell the tech what happened. A health check is a nothing compared to a performance handling check. Anything worn will expose itself at 115mph in a corner.

Shifting in a corner at 115mph will definitely upset the balance. Get your shifting done before the corner.
Sounds like good advice. I'm certainly willing to accept that the driver could be partially at fault. How much do you think that this kind of thing would be masked by ESP in later model Boxsters?
