They were nicknamed Dr Killers since they were the only ones that could afford them. I think the technical term is trailing throttle oversteer! :D

A kid I went to high school with was out crusing his old man's 930 turbo at age 15 and found out how quick they can get away from you, through a fence into a parked car. Needless to say he was driving a sh!tbox the whole time he was in high school after that.

Not to take away from the thread, but man those old 4 speed 930s were awesome cars... Ball busters for people who didn't know how to drive, but the right kind of fun for people who knew what they were getting into!

Piper came out with a plane called a Malibu, it was called a Dr Killer because of the same reason. It was pilot error when there was a crash.

Little seat time & big $ = Dead Dr.

Same type of situation, different vehicles.

sad sad day for offshore......

I just finished the first half of the Tres Martin Performance School today. This particular accident was discussed many times. The course covers in detail the type of trouble you can get into with a stepped hull and cats. I had to take th course for insurance, but would recommend to anyone, especially people new to the stepped hull, to take the course. Worth every penny.

got any pointers for step hull owners?

Just one........TAKE THE COURSE.......:eureka:

I would if I had the time.. I do look forward to taking it tho.

so how bout them tips? its not like sign ups are tomorrow... we are a community lets not be stingy. Im sure theres other rookies on here that would like some tips. You could be preventing an accident by sharing some knowledge.
