Rear-engined Porsches are their own animal. They need to be driven completely differently in order to keep out of the realm of excessive understeer. However, they are set up relatively "safely", with a good helping of understeer in the more pedestrian models, because they are harder to control in an oversteer condition. And before you ask, I've driven a lot of Porsches, from street to full race prep, on the track, so I'm not talking out of my ass.

They said it as going to be mid to upper 20's from day one. Why are people shocked by this?
Buy a used one in a few years or get a tC if the price is too steep... why do teenagers need a new sports car anyway? Even if they get this car (or a parent provides one for the spoiled brats), they'll bemoan having to spring for premium fuel |

Do you mean 0-60? Because a 6.2 sec 1/4 mile is pretty damn impressive!

Nope. Homemade's fix of your statement got it right - lower tire pressures (within reason) = better grip, so lowering front or raising rear pressures will "transfer" the relative proportion of grip away from the back to the front end which will give less understeer. Try it in a good sim like iRacing or rFactor.
