Whoops
Accidentally took an off ramp at 50-55 mph (it was unexpected because of the construction scenario surrounding this detour) I'm pretty amazed my car and I are still in one piece! The car started to spin out but I somehow kept a semi drift and kept control of the car... Not the first aggressive driving experience I wanted but wow

a 944 is quite agile. if you'd been in my H3 you'd be behind a tow truck right about now.

I think you found it's performance limit the hard way. Hope you don't turn all that hard work into a ball by the side of the road.

One of the most fun times ever I had was taking my NA to the local ballpark - which had these huge, empty parking lots at the time, and taking a bunch of 90 degree turns at about 50 MPH.
Just crank the wheel over and go with the flow. 944's are so fun, and so easily controlable. So predicatable. I haven't done that in a while, but there are a couple off-ramps I do push it, regularly (assuming it's dry and there isn't a lot of traffic) I wich I could get it together to do autocross!

I need to take a PCA autocross driver's Ed so I'm better with my car, I survived today but I don't know if it was just luck or if I actually have some driving know-how

Auto Cross, is a must for these's cars, you will find your limits in a safe controlled environment, you can practice different types of turns, entry speeds, and so much more, PCA.org and find your local club, best $50 a year I spend on this car.

BRAVO James!! Everyone that owns one of these cars should auto-x. get your loved one's involved , and learn the limits of the car as well as the experience level of the driver. the instruction you will receive will make you a better, more safe driver on the street. parents with newly licensed drivers should do this
