Love the video. That is very much how my 928 sounds and drives, but obviously a lot faster, and much more power. You can hear how it scrubs the tires while remaining neutral to a little bit of understeer turning into oversteer or more scrub, or both. You can overcook a little, without fear, and maybe not even lose any speed.

There is no question that I love how 911s drive, but I do track my 928, and it does keep up with some fast 911s. I am only a mid level track driver, BTW. If you watch the Video again, look to see where he comes in to a couple of corners very hot, and scrubs off the speed. It tends to make them look like a big horse on the autocross, and they will not AX effectively on a very wet track, but they have many of the attributes of a Miata, where you can dance it on the throttle. It doesn't feel as nice in a big car, but it is there to be used, and they can take a little bit of ham fistedness without much fuss.

A great introductory car for going really fast. Really fast.
