I am also a change over driver from the 987 platform to the 997.

Now my track days are in the 997 platform: I initially felt that the tail end was way to influential, especially at higher speeds. I had the corner weighting changed to get the back end down a little and now even with crappy street tires (PS2s) the car is just a second or so slower than the boxster was, even though the Boxster had DOT comp tires and race seat and restraints. (these two items: tires, restraints are good for about 4 plus seconds a lap by my estimation). I can throttle steer the car at both low and high speed. The car settles in just fine powering through apexes.
I have quickly forgotten that the engine is "way back there".

It is really interesting that all the feedback we have had thus far mirrors your experiences. We ought to write an article on this, I bet we would get a lot of fan and angry emails
