In a front engined rear drive car you'd need to lift off, twirl the wheel and hope for the best when that happens which is probably what he did. What he should have done, especially in a 4WD car like the turbo, was bury the throttle and let the traction fix it.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy (when you're typing it not living it).

From my limited experience a think a Cayman might be one of the ultimate daily use sportcars. Good chunk less money than a 911, usable performance and the aftermarket parts availability is getting better and better, not to mention you can interchange a lot of parts with boxters and 911s.
I've not had much experience of driving 911's at the limit but I do know that my dad had a nervy experience in a 996 Turbo when it was low on fuel. He's driven most things of note, raced on an off over the last 20-odd years (most exciting a full beans TVR Tuscan Challenge car - 450hp and around 900kg) and the only time seen him nervous was after a spirited drive home in the 996 where mid corner, the tail decided to give itself a big wag at about 70 and it all looked like it was headed south. After speaking with knowledgable people in the 911 world it turns out that running them low on fuel can unsettle the car due to weight (or lack of it) in the front.
Would still have one though.
