Haha yeah snap oversteer fun!

I did manage to tame it down though with my 245/295 tire setup.

Will the NA engines and gear boxes allow you to boost them and survive?

You could but the cost will be extremely expensive not to mention the room is VERY small and then the tuning, just enjoy it as it is, minor boltons maybe. It is hard to improve these cars. keep it NA.

Like High PSI said, definitely keep these NA. They sell supercharger kits but they are way overpriced and not worth it at all. Put your money into suspension pieces. If you want boost, get a 996tt.

Other than suspension and wheels/tires I am stock, and trust me, this is fun on the back roads and hwy runs.

Yeah, unfortunately mine are the kind that can't be cleared out. I was going to go with some litronics, but they are way too much. Rather put that money into the suspension.

The nice thing about the modern 911s with the multi-link rear is that snap oversteer is largely a thing of the past for all but the most ham-fisted of drivers.
