I break mine loose from time to time...on purpose. Find a track, parking lot or back road (area sans other motorists/peds) and get to know your car man. I'm not suggesting high speed power slides, but you should understand where the limits are at normal speeds. A Boxster will pivot beautifully and predictably through tight, relatively low speed turns if you're in the proper gear. It also tends to be quite forgiving at the limit even at higher speeds if the tires, brakes and road temps are adequate. I've a tight 140 degree hairpin (sort of) near my home that is tremendous fun. Entry speed is a little over 15mph. I heal and toe into first just before turn in and power the arse end around.
