<...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=

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!
