'The safe method of road driving here being to brake in a straight line, off the brakes, then apply a small amount of throttle to balance the car and move weight to the rear and turn in. More throttle applied once through the apex"
James, this ^ is good practise even in a RWD car and using this technique you won't go far wrong in a 911.
The challenge comes when your chasing lap times or want to drive faster, using the above technique means when turning in on a balanced throttle there is little weight on the front of the car, so when you start to pile on the power the car wants to 'push' the front end out, aka understeer, now this is not uncontrollable FWD mega understeer, but enough tyre scrub to delay you from being able to get on the power.
To help elimate the issue you need to trail brake, sometimes all of the way into the apex, sometimes not it depends on the corner, but generally I find myself carrying the brakes into most corners, even quick ones, as I find it helps settle and set the car. - This however is on track
Amongst a multitude of other things rake in your setup, car higher at the rear than the front and a softer front end, spring rate / damping, ARB, also helps eliminate understeer.
I agree with Martin in that I also would not recommend a lift to rotate the car at turn in, you naturally get a little between coming off the trail brake and back on the power, unless you left foot brake, but this is usually small as the car is set and balanced. - 996 has great mechanical grip.
Everyone's driving technique is different what works for one may not work for another and it's often trial and error, once you know what works for you, you can adjust your car to make it behave in the way you like. - My setup is fairly aggressive, happy to share, and works for me, but may not for anyone else.
If your interested this chap has some great videos that touch on various driving techniques
