<...But, I will say that it did take quite some time in driving the 911 to fully appreciate it. And, although it does everything "right"= , it does so with, well, (I better make sure no 911 fanatics are reading - Tom, you can delete now) well, without quite as much playful character. = I won't say it does not have character (especially the bright Kelly Green color I have). It's just more of a "ve shall turn now" character, rather=

than a "quite right, let's have a turn then" character....>

My Alpine is so much more predictable at it's limits than my 911. Althoug= h I've only driven my 911 on a track, my Alpine gives you plenty for notice=

before it begins to break adhesion, and even then it only "pushes" into t= he turn. My 911, on the other hand, has me sliding the wrong way when I run out of guts!

I'm lucky to have both cars, but wouldn't trade my Alpine for the other!
