I tried it once in my 350z and had the scary sound of wheel hop so i never tried it again. I've had the cs for 3 months now and want to give it a shot.
Any experience/recomendations?

Thank you to the old people who put no miles on their porsches and trade them in.
I managed a wimpy chirp while doing the car control clinic. Sport Chrono ON (If you have it) and PSM OFF.
Revving between 2500 and 3500 RPM, pop the clutch, off you go.
Sport Chrono and Chrono Plus
This optional package is a valuable addition for trackday use. Available in conjunction with the CDR-24 CD radio, it includes a swivel-mounted analog and digital timer unit which is centrally located on the dashboard. All functions are easily accessible via the control stalk for the on-board computer. Analog dials measure hours, minutes and seconds, while a separate digital field displays whole seconds, tenths and one hundredths of a second. A second digital display runs in parallel in the instrument cluster. Click this Link to visit the FAQ entry for Sport Chrono.
PSM - Porsche Stability Management
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility.

Interested in the feather vs. quick release answer too.
During the car control clinic, the 996 next to me did a hard launch into the braking exercise. When they came back and lined up next to me, their clutch was literally smoking!
There was so much smoke that I thought my car was on fire and cause me to jump out (and knocking myself silly since I still had my helmet on, but that's another story).
That being said, I've never floor the gas until my foot is completely off the clutch and that it had hooked up. Maybe that won't get me any nice burnouts, but what the hey, I like my clutch in one piece!

I don't think the abuse on the porsche will return much satisfaction. I betcha you will say .... "is that it?!"

Dude, you've got the wrong car for that. Way too much grip. You will likely break something. If you are really hell bent on smoking the tires, just wait until the tempurature drops. Once if falls below 40 you can roast them into smoke by simply pressing the go pedal (as long as PSM is off of course).
If you know what you're doing, you can drift the tail out a bit on warm dry pavement, but the mid engine platform will snap back violently if you mess it up. I don't recommend it.

why feather out the clutch as opposed to side stepping it? wouldnt you burn the clutch out like that?
Maybe feather isn't the right word. I just mean you should let the car smoothly into gear and out of traction...then feed in the gas. Dumping the clutch will get you wheel hop and bogging down.
Side step? What does that mean?
A Porsche is a car and cars are meant to have their tires spun occasionally.
Unless you keep yours on the mantle above the fireplace.

Gator Bite, I found that out the hard way at the car control clinic. When I turned back into the slide, the car did snap back and my poor head suffered the consequences.(Helmet on of course). I was told to avoid the snap back, give it gas when turning into the slide.
Until
