I’d always been going in the S2000 or the DB8, so this time it was the 996.
Up in the mountains it’s a cool 20 degrees or so, the views are amazing, there’s barely any traffic — this place is the best.
You really get a sense of how slim the 996’s profile is — a hood height only cars of this era could pull off.
Rock-solid high-speed stability, with fierce traction and brake capacity that leave zero room for anxiety — you could keep driving for hundreds of kilometers.
The mountain pass here calls for a different kind of enjoyment than the exhilaration of the DB8 or S2000; you can take it in calmly. With Honda cars, it’s your DNA that reacts.
True happiness is enjoying the things you love.
