Love the vids, thanks.
I rode my motorcycle, aka crotch rocket, from NY to San Fran about twenty five years ago and stayed for a few months. I would hit this hypothetical road frequently late morning week days. Similar experience.
Looking for that app now.

Hypothetically, if one were to drive said roads on a weekend between 7-830, they would find no traffic, cops or MAMIL's.

Edit: Just watched it again. Inifinite jealousy on my part! It doesn't even need to spin halfway to 9K to be fun!
How noticeable is the RWS? How about the electric power steering? Are the tiny vibrations/feedback there like in a pure hydraulic rack?
Thanks again for posting, guys.

Steering feel is one of the things that surprised me most after all of the comments about EM steering ahead of time. The amplitude of the "twitching" isn't as great when you let go of the wheel as it is in the un-boosted or hydraulic assist cars but you can still see it. The thing is, when your hands are on the wheel, you don't need big wheel motions to detect those vibrations so you can still feel the road surface. The steering is not light by any means; it is noticeably firmer than my Cayenne, for example, and to my mind is perfectly weighted. They seem to have filtered out the noise but kept the meaningful information. This has been mentioned in other places, but RWS is simply not apparent in any driving I've done so far. In fact there is no artificiality in the chassis at all.
Sorry, I just meant to answer your questions and have blabbered on. It's hard not to be enthusiastic. We're out of town for the weekend and left the GT3 behind. I'm in minor withdrawal already.....

We pay to live in NorCal.. Insane Taxes, insane real estate costs etc.. But in my life of traveling, I've never seen a place which offers such an incredible quality of life as the Bay Area.. The roads and scenery are but a fraction of it.

But what keeps bugging me is that we are paying for things and people that have very little to do with it being great.

love northern California. At least your property taxes are reasonable; compared to upstate NY, or any of NY.
