I got to walk away from this one with just a bruise. Loved my Cayenne.

Those out driving a Porsche on country roads that have almost no berm or curb area, you wonder how much concern there is among GT drivers, since a number of videos display speeds that seem to indicate confidence. Spring is a nice time to be in a scenic area, but a deceptive situation for car and driver, imo.

A straight section, but not for long..

My guess is you have to be going at a rather brisk pace in a GT2 to get any sense of speed. On narrow roads like that you have zero time to avoid an animal, a kid, or a car pulling out from a driveway. Were I like to drive in the mountains there could be a deer or elk around the next blind corner. A new Porsche has airbags and the like. My 67 has the Porsche PING and no door beams, airbags and such. It's a 3 point seatbelt in a tuna can. But I love it and pray to stay lucky.
