ChrisN--with his 700hp 997 Turbo--and I in my CS went for a drive this morning. The core part of the drive was heading west on Del Puerto Cayman--I mean "Canyon" --road and Mines Rd:



The map makes the road look much straighter than it really is. Fifty miles of twists, turns, dips and crests.

I've posted two videos from the trip.



In this one, ChrisN is leading, and about 30 secs in, drops the hammer and takes off. Mind you we're doing about 70mph at the time and he simply rockets away. 700 hp will do that. A few seconds later, we had a minor fatality: A bird flew right into Chris' path. You can't see it on the tape.

Gentleman that he was, Chris let me drive the beast on the freeway and encouraged me to floor it in 3rd at 60. Even without the "overboost" on, the car jumped to 130 in what seemed like 4-5 seconds. Addictive.

Here, I'm leading and ChrisN is following.



If you're interested in doing a drive, let me know.
