Bill, if you are going so fast that the back end starts catching the front
end and there ain't nothin' you're going to do about it, wouldn't that, by
definition, be 10/10ths or better?
Just wondering. ;-)

When you are driving at 9/10ths on racing tires, there is no catching a VW
but. Just look out the back window; that's where you're going. ...bill in

True, John, but that's also half the fun of driving one. Let the back end
kick out and then catch it and drive tail-out through the turn. Yee Haa!
Yeah, I guess I'm a hoon, too.

Right on Larry! Trailing throttle oversteer earns your respect. You find out
how calculating you can be under pressure when you have to slow down NOW,
but
can't lift off the throttle too quickly. Not a natural reaction and you have
to train yourself to do it. Lots of old Beetle drivers have experience it
but
the 911 really gets your attention because you're going so much faster.
