On a straight line the 911 would have killed me, no doubt. But this was a twisty road of two lanes with elevation changes plus I have driven it at speed over a thousand times, and I'm not kidding. He pushed wide about 5 times or more and came close to wadding into the ditch. Each time I braked hard before turn entry turn but knew to accelerate as I went through the curve and not brake at the apex. I was accelerating he was braking and I pulled away as he upset the chassis balance and undesteered. I surmise he was a crappy driver in an expensive car. It was fun and I'm under no illusion that the Nismo is better than a 911 but for bring 100k cheaper it did pretty damm well.
