Not fast at all, thankfully. The truck was leaving the same corner I was entering, mostly in my lane.

In the photo, there are trees up to the edge of the road. That corner lot above the yellow arrow (my direction of travel) recently sold and has been cleared...and it was really cold last night, so the shoulder was mostly-frozen mud instead of muck. The 996 would have enjoyed the trip a lot less than the Jeep.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Well I'm glad you made it to tell the tale - mainly because we need the Outpost to keep going but I'm sure you have many other valuable attributes as well ;)
