One more.
We had so much fun that day, we were taking some massive curves with some spirited driving at 120 mph+!
It was cool to be in one of 20 cars barreling down a secluded highway apexing the corners in single file less than a car length between some of them.

Its hard to descibe, but driving a Porsche (and this 944 and a 951 are the only ones I've be able to drive yet) is a very fun experience. You have to make the car sing down the road, not just mash the gas pedal. I have nothing against muscle cars, I just see Porsche (and other "sports" cars) as a more complete package.

You would be suprised how well a mustang can handle. The 05's are tearing up the transam circuit

Basically, what I meant was - a Porsche will outhandle Detroit iron when the cars are from comparable time periods, that's all. Not that the Trans Am cars of the 60's weren't capable handlers, just that they would be outclassed by true "sports" cars of the era...the cars from Detroit, however, would kill them on a straightaway.
