I almost lost it going around a corner immediately. okay, let's stop this stupidity. I put it back into the appropriate gear and motored down the road. Glistening from a fresh sheen of sweat.

I would never corner in neutral ever again. in a 911SC that would have been potentially catastrophic. no bueno. maybe a slow-ass corner, like into a parking space.

Right, overcooking the corner is bad. If the car was in gear and you were on the gas, but going too fast, it still would have been bad or at least would have required letting off and/or braking.
