Without a doubt!
I was driven around the Barber track in Alabama by Chris Hall, in a Cayenne Turbo, as speeds up to 100 miles per hour. It's more capable than 99% (opinion) of all who will ever drive it.
The Cayenne brake and handles extremely well, and only stupidity would get you into trouble with it. The Cayenne with steel springs handled just as well, I forget who drove it.
The only negative was the passenger door whistled at about 100MPH.
As I posted elsewhere I got to autocross the Turbo, at hte same event, and it was wonderful. It handled unlike any other SUV I've ever driven, while my expectations (of Porsche) were high, it exceeded them.
I still grin when I think about the experience, and when I got out of it I remember thinking "who cares about the looks, this thing is fantastic".

I think we all know whose head is so filled w/ hate for the C that objectivity (ie, appeal to rational methodology or minor details like evidence) is buried in something deeper than Chicago snow.

its not filled with hate.....its filled with a full assembly of hope and hate for the 'C'........However, I keep Hope alive. For today. i get to drive a Modified Cayenne Turbo with "well over" 500 HP............Maybe that will change my mind.
