Big Six, it's not intimidating, I think because of the responsiveness it just happens quicker. I think the reputation for being hard to drive may preoccupy your thoughts at first. The all wheel drive really helps things but it only delivers between 4 and 40 % of it's power to the front wheels so it still retains the driving characteristics of a rear wheel drive car. You don't even notice the front fenders bulging upwards, the front of the car seems of fall away from your vision so the front end seems very short. The 997 is a rear engine vehicle not a mid engine vehicle, which is why it got a reputation for demanding driving early in it's development. Over the years it has gotten easier and easier to drive the car. I should explain that the limits are so high that you really have to be pushing it to get any hint of the rear end wanting to step out. The biggest thing is just learning to adjust to a different driving style. Driving it fast does take more concentration but in a good way. I guess that is half the fun of driving a twisty road, it takes more talent than a straight road and you get more involved in the experience no matter what car you are driving.
