How to drive a 911, part III

Ramming the Ruf CTR "Yellow Bird" 911 around the 'Ring.

How to drive a 911?  Parts I, II, and III of this exploration show us that some key ingredients are:

  1. Quick hands
  2. An agile right foot
  3. Total commitment

Gnarly machines tend to share in common a need for total commitment.  If mishandled, a F-16, a Ducati, or a 911 will bite you.  It takes commitment to take one to and beyond the limit.

I do have to say that the "Yellow Bird 911" appears much more twitchy than I might have expected, though it does bring back memories of spinning (3 times!) a highly modified twin turbo 1989 Turbo that appeared to have similar dynamics. Though I was not driving at 11/10ths like this driver appears to be doing... beyond my skill level, no doubt.

Also, it should be noted that the more recent 911s are far more stable at and beyond the limits.
