Go for the test drive, might include a free lunch.
Some of the Porsche test tracks are awesome, with embed sliding plates in the track to disrupt the car and display your new car's computer controlled corrections.
Warning, Nannies get off my lawn post.
New Porsche or New Vette by this time haven't the software engineers designed all the nannies to be about the same?
On the limit you are experiencing your new car's Nanny, and its ability to manipulate each wheel independently by independent brake application.
Granted some Porsches also have rear wheel vectoring/steering, maybe a better auto with the PDK, perhaps a more refined interior.
But I'd bet the nannies on all new cars are close to equal.
New Sports cars have become homogenized.
I actually prefer no computer controlled nannies in my track or sports cars.
I know the nannies are great today, every time your nanny light flashes on the dash you can thank a software engineer for saving your car.
Disclaimer like nannies on all trucks and cars, just not on track.
I can heal toe downshift and set my own brake bias thank you.
Now go experience some fine german nannies and brats.

I did one of these a few years back. It's a great little event they do, you do a lap in each of 4 cars around the track in a follow the leader type setting. You dont push the cars, but you do get to have a bit of fun. You drive base and s versions of the Cayman and 911. They also do a little autocross course with the panamera.
Its a fun time. The most impressive part for me was these cars are getting run with ac on full blast in the hot sun for the entire day, and all of them stayed cool. We did ours at Homestead and it was about 90000 degrees out that day.
