Have taken the Maser beyond 170 where it was much more stable than the 911 was at 150+ that is impressive. Also impressive is the fact he is quite happy changing lane at that kind of speed. In the 911 I was terrified about touching the brakes. It was much more stable and comfortable. Easy in fact.

One of the major updates with the 997 was the increased high speed stability over the previous generations, the 996 felt lighter at the front-end at speed

It felt twitchy as hell. It certainly needed improving mind you didn't really cause a problem. I only drove at that speed for a few days in one week.
