I'm sorry, but isn't this a bit disingenuous -- to give him the snotty "do your homework" reply when this can be said in lieu of most any post on this forum?! Since there isn't even a census of whether the Boxster over-steer or under-steer, I would be careful to beat up on someone who obviously brought up a valid and (at least to me) interesting issue.

Depends on the corner, the car, the road conditions.. In the case of putting together a quick lap on the track, you have to consider the corner in context to those before it and after it.. Is it leading onto a straight? Or into a twisty section? By compromising your line on corner A, does that make your line for corner B that much faster that you more than make up the time lost in corner A? What's the braking zone like? Does your car have a lot of power? If so compromising your cornering speed for a line that lets you put the power down sooner might be quicker.

The best way to learn is to get on a track and follow someone who knows what they're doing.. Or attend a driving school.
