Did a little researching on the Porsche gt. I've driven a 911 before (never pushed it) but everyone that knows those cars, knows they love to oversteer. Now take a 700hp carerra gt from the same manufacturer and you can bet that's a recipe for disaster. Yes, its a different chassis but I would assume they used very much the same principles from the coveted 911.

Interesting car crash and a lawsuit that emerged. Lawyer made his name in the 90's for successfully suing Porsche on the 911 turbo, citing the car was waaayyy to hard to control for the novice driver. Subsequently, the 911 turbo took a hiatus from the US market and when it returned, Porsche offered driver courses for the buyers....

Top Gear review of the carerra gt....see 6:20 mark...the stig even lost it around a corner a few times...the c/gt is very unforgiving at high speeds..
