As the pilot/caretaker of a well set up 944, I will opine and concur with speeder's comments as I recently had a similar experience.

I instructed a reasonably seasoned driver in one of these a couple weeks ago on track. I'm not sure where the torque band ends, because it was wound up the entire time in 3rd gear. On a gentle turn moving at 60(?) (more kink than a sweeper) the driver would fly up to the apex and hit the gas and it shot off like a burnout from a standstill. I have never had that experience before.

Truly an amazing car. The scary thing for me is, I just thought it was a nicely badged Corvette when I got in, I knew nothing about it.
