That's the kicker about Porsche, they are their own kind of animal. I have driven hundreds of Porsche, and as soon as you go driving something else around the track, hop back in the Porsche. Its like learning all over again. It just wants to Paul walker you at every possible opportunity. Its fun to finesse them through a esses uphills or a downhill decel, but stay on your toes man, she will bite you!

I was at the track one day with a '94 twin turbo modified 911 and there is a guy who is a sick driver, test driver and such. He says mind if I wheel it. I said sure but its not mine so you bend it you buy it. Two laps later he comes back gets out and says wtf is wrong with it?? It goes two thousand mph and then any input to the steering the hind end wants to race the front end. He was shaking. That car was no joke. My butthole was like a rabbits nose in that car. Dicey at best. The owner wadded it on the street about a month later. So much for those driving lessons I gave him.

I love cars!

The Big Willow Track at Willow Springs Raceway (The Fastest Track in the west) Rosemond California , 2.5 miles.

Turn 9, the last turn before the start/finish line. A downhill decreasing radius turn with a dip

The pucker factor is High. 911's can eat up this corner, but you must power through the turn (Yikes!)

If you lift - in the weeds Haha!

My boss has a bunch of Porsche's including an '86 black/light grey cabriolet- mint- with 22k on it. I think they made like 7 or so of them.So last year he takes it to his mechanic for bulbs and shit and the guy takes it out for a ride and...slams someone from behind and totals the front end. 10k in damage but much more than that in many ways. He couldn't even talk about it with me for 6 months or so.

I have one two inch blemish on mine from years back.

I haven't wrecked it but I have been off track. These old 911's really take a beating. Drive like hell all day at the track and drive it 100 miles home :biggrin:

Then cruise it through the Malibu Canyon roads in the morning...

The dealer is at the bottom of my hill :biggrin:

My good friends Dad has owned more than 70 various Ferraris over the years.

When they have a Ferrari Car show on T.V. they always talk to Ed Niles. He knows more about them than anyone else that I know.

Love fast cars...

Went from my house, up Topanga Canyon to Mullholland Hwy to the Rock Store then on to Kanan Road then to Pacific Coast Highway then back to my house via Topanga Canyon Blvd.

Took about an hour, only let the tail step out once, only locked up the brakes once. Passed many slower cars :biggrin:

Lots of sports cars out this morning :party: nothing like driving thr Santa Monica Mountains on a crisp Saturday morning

I'm pretty sure I didn't go over 150kph (3rd gear). Second and third gears are sweet in the twisties.

Also lots of racy motorcycles on the road. It's fun to blow by the cruizing Harleys.

Oh and the usual Speed Traps, but I know where they are. (The Cops have no radio in the canyon)

Peace - It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
