For people familiar with Porsche Turbo S/GT 3/GT3 RS
This is for anyone who has some first hand experience with the 911 Turbo S, GT 3 and/or GT 3 R S. From a standstill or slow roll, will these cars hook up without 'fishtailing' with only moderate throttle on cold tires--30 degrees outside and less than 1 mile from starting. No spinning of tires, just a moderate acceleration.
In the same vein, does the ZO6 have so much torque that the tires just cannot hook up until warm or weather conditions are better. I am not talking about snap oversteer, just a condition where the back end just seems unable to stay stable with any moderate acceleration when cold. May just be the nature of the beast. Just had the car properly aligned with the DSC controller and there was NO snap oversteer(so far) like before, but the unstable back end is still a wake up call, but maybe it is what it is.
Love to know how Porsches act.

The Turbo S will have better traction than either GT car because of the AWD. You shouldn't get any wheel spin with moderate acceleration.
I could easily spin the tires of my Z06 in three gears with similar acceleration.

I have had both the 991 turbo s as well as the 991 gt3. They both would accelerate hard off the line with very little wheel spin. The Gt3 would spin for a few feet but the Turbo s would just hook being all wheel drive.
My Z06 requires some throttle control to launch well.

If you launch it when cold/snowy/wet, it's not going to hook up, even with a turbo. The Porsche AWD isn't Subaru AWD and it has a significant amount of power. All of them are likely on performance tires, which really let you know they don't have traction in cold temps. If you drive like a normal person, it will be fine.
