How do I drive a Porsche?!

If you get the chance, find a large, empty lot to learn about you car's limits. turn off PSM if you have it, and (assuming you've got sufficient runoff) try to get the car to lose control. You'll gain some appreciation for just how much grip these cars have, and also what it feels like to be on the edge.

Autocross would be a great learning idea too, as you'll probably manage to induce both under- and oversteer at some point.

This forum is great. Much good advice.

- Does it always rain? It is dry enough where I live that I simply just wait for a dry day. I learned to drive in snow and to me it simply amplifies many times what others have told you. I learned all the techniques that teach car control growing up on a farm with lots of snowy empty roads.
- I like life and respect others so we always obey the mailbox rule. These cars can stop very fast on dry. Learn how fast it can stop.
- +1 on the give yourself time. These cars are so sticky it will take a lot of time to learn the limits. Obviously the quickest way is to get instruction.
- You'll become very good at trusting the brakes on these cars. It has become second nature for me now to wait until the last second to brake, brake hard, and then make the turn.
- Learn at slower speeds, it is also very fun and high speeds just make all recovery that much more difficult.
- Have fun and know your limits.
