Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was going down 405 north towards Laguan Beach fwy (133 south) on Saturday night, while being followed by 3-4 cars that wanted to check out my 01 C4 with Aero, I lost track of how fast i was going & was distracted by other people watching me. I was going around 80MPH on the very right lane getting ready to exit. If you have been to this ramp (133 ramp), you find out that it's a very sharp turn and the sign says 25MPH.
It was the last second when i saw the 25MPH sign & i was already inside the sharp turn. I got scared (thinking the car is gonna roll or spin), I slammed the brakes, turned the steering towards the curve, and the car just took the curve without any spinning or me losing control.
I have a 95 M3 & if i had done that with the M3, it would have spun out big time. M3 is great around turns, but this turn is the sharptest turn i have seen. I guess the ABS & 4 wheel drive really help out.
One scared driver and I will not do that again. Just gotta concentrate & not get distracted by other drivers watching.
What really saved you was PSM (Porsche Stability Management)
PSM is absolutely awsome, minimally intrusive and saves you just like magic at the last moment. However it cannot override the laws of physic so be careful.
I had a similar episode last night. I was approaching a T junction down the bottom of a hill to turn right (we drive on the left so have to watch out for oncoming traffic from right). However, lights went green and I was just about to turn when this fri....g truck comes round from the right. He had to swing out to get round the corner. I had to swing all over the place to miss him and others. PSM did its job emphatically! It was a very close call. Both PSM and ABS popped into action and I got away with it. I am certain without PSM I would have been squished by the truck.
