I love a good drivers car, but I would much rather grip than drift! I love taking on ramps at stupid speeds and feeling the lateral G-loads....it would just be unsafe to be drifting around said on-ramp!

Now imagine getting that same feeling going 30 or 40 mph. Where you aren't at risk of killing yourself or someone else. That's the difference.

To be honest, good driver's cars aren't about taking ramps at high speeds. There are plenty of **************** modern cars with very high grip levels that can do it.

But even with much more narrow tyres, you could still very probably take the ramps at the speeds you are now. You're probably nowhere near the limit with your massive boots.

The narrow 225s the 16-inch 986 wheels have would be good, it's just a shame the 16s look so crap...

Well, the Boxster is pretty much the benchmark for steering feel, so I'm not sure what your trying to improve on. You guys really sound like you should be Elise owners.
