You can say that again!
BPU699, suddenly getting off the throttle gives back traction, with a 911 its just at the wrong end of the car (suddenly the very light front wheels are given weight and massive grip and can go exactly where they are pointing)
Not the best example, but watch this. and imagine it is a 911
Watch this:

Stop the video at exactly 6:34
The car is now straight.
The car is still carrying a lot of forward momentum.
The front wheels are turned left and not straight ahead.
(Prior to that the wheels were left in relation to the car, but forward in relation to the momentum).
With the front wheels turned left while the car is moving forward, the car quickly turns left. The back end is still trying to go straight down the track.
Spin! (or tank slapper in my case)
