The old 911 where difficult cars to drive with limits that could be easily reached and next thing you know you have crashed.



Sounds like pretty much the opposite of "best car to develop driving skill" to me.


Should not be driven near the limit, unless on a safe racetrack. Then spinning "usually" doesn't mean injury to car or driver - just ego.

You'll never learn the limit without crossing it. Early 911's have excellent communication and controls that will allow the patient student to really hear what the car is telling him and learn to adjust to that feedback - loads of fun and challenge

It's takes lots of practice, but the goal is to re-train your panic instinct. Instead of jumping off the gas (or on the brake), you need to instinctually add more gas when the car gets loose. Once you learn to do this as a reaction (without thinking) it's easily controlled at any drift angle and nothing is as satisfying at the limit and beyond as an early 911
