Was there myself a couple of years ago, unbelievable experience. Different car though. My wife actually wrote an article that was published in 'Viper Magazine'.

Cool piece Jas... thanks.

I like those new Pickle Forks.. Maybe they have a new moniker?

That was a great read. Thanks for posting the article. I have to admit the 997 is almost too easy to drive fast - my S2000 is a more involving drive. I've been tempted to go with a Lotus for the past couple of months...

Me thinks that the manual transmission on the 997.2 would have provided a much more involved and fun ride during the road test. While not refuting the engineering and technology of the PDK, my next 997 will most definietly have a 6-speed tranny. Way more fun, at least for me.

I'm with you on that one. I love a real MT.

This was a good article, thanks to the OP!

I would have never guessed there would ever be that many Vipers in Europe...especially in one place!
