Have been enjoying the Frog recently in the Dolomites which were always on my driving bucket list. And they did not disappoint, if you like mountain curving it‘s a fantastic place, one day we drove 10 different passes, starting at 7 am in the morning, returning 3pm in the afternoon. Next ride took us 8 hours around, having a blast again. Both tours were together with my friend taking his Speedster out. Both cars were huge fun, I also drove the Speedster extensively. The open top experience is hard to beat, the OPF muted sound less so. It has become much quieter than the Touring, the pop and bangs during no lift shifts almost non existent, below 3500 rpm unresponsive but top end on the other hand very free spinning. In terms of driving feel it felt more planted but less aggressive and playful than my Touring, the Speedster on Dunlops and my Touring on the Cup 2. I also have the Manthey settings with reduced camber compared to thir track focussed settings as I only use the car on the road. Steering felt only different by nuances.
My car has now 20‘000km and I still love it, nothing to complain. Recently added ceramic coating making it easier to clean, had to replace the front screen after the high speed runs on the German Autobahn and hubs had to be regreased as I had a ticking noise on thight, hard driven right handers. I cannot see anything to replace it with, size, sound, driving feel and looks are perfect for me.
