When moving, or when trying to get moving from a dead stop on an incline? I had zero stability issues with mine, but I did have big trouble getting up a tiny incline in a relatives driveway one day when the snow was packing to almost ice by compressing it.

I could let the clutch out very slowly without touching the gas and get out of the car to watch the rear tires spin in place.

By comparison, their 993 911 had zero issues with the exact same incline just minutes later. Both RWD, both on snows, 911 just has a lot more weight on the rear tires.
