Like Jon just mentioned, smoothness is the key. I've done many DEs in the rain and I think the key to going quickly in a 911 in the wet is smoothness and trying to maximize your speed in a straight line. Abrupt turn-ins and getting onto the throttle too hard after turn-in will come back to haunt you. In actuality, these cars are still extremely capable in the rain.

Coming home from Rennsport this part weekend, I drove through torrential downpours in a 2400lb car with 245/275 worn out Yoko A032s and didn't have any "moments"...
