Good stuff, public roads are great, just don't overcook it.

It was fun though, just felt robbed seeing as I never got out of 2nd gear in there, definitely better roads for the 996 in that area.

Agreed. The Z3 1.9 was a lot of fun because there was a need to keep changing gears to keep the car in the power band. Also, I don't think we ever got going overly fast.

The worst thing we had to deal with was motorcycles coming around blind corners across the center line.
