How to attack a corner?

I heard a lot of late apex, and for rear engine cars, one should aim inside of the apex, and throttle hard when get very close to the apex. I think this is true for 911, since the car will slide out, aiming inside of the apex so that car will just hit the apex when reached there.
However, I feel different on Boxster, when throttle hard during a turn, the car won't slide out a lot, instead, i feel the nose actually is pulled into the turn direction. So right now what I do when cornering is, aim slightly outside of the apex (instead of inside), throttle hard when 'close' to the apex. Throttle point is not as close to the apex point as I would do on a 911.
Is this the right way on a boxster? What's the fastest or safest way of cornering?
