Nothing that a few track days can't teach.

And the 911 isn't worse, it is just "different". The Boxster rotates much easier and faster but is generally easy to catch using a majority of steering inputs. That's why people say that its "easier" to drive at the limit. But you need quick hands in a Boxster or you'll spin.

On the other hand, the 911 rotates more slowly but that rear end has a lot of momentum so it takes a lot more effort/skill to halt the rotation and reverse it and usually requires both steering and throttle inputs to do it right (which is technically more difficult than just steering alone).

different , more like scary compared to the boxster . the driving i have done in my boxster I would not dare too do in the 911 . I am also not very experienced driving a 911 either .
