To be honest, I would probably think 'So that's what it's capable of, in the right hands' - not that I'm condoning racing on the public highway. I bet there was no mention of it when it was soldtherevday said:
I watched that quite recently. I did a check on DVLA site and the car is still on the road. I wonder who owns it now? Can you imagine being the owner and seeing your pride and joy being thrashed and dangerously driven! I bet there was no mention of it when it was sold

Pretty much any car that's been tracked meaningfully will have been driven far, far harder than that 993. As for being driven dangerously, how/why would that affect anything to do with your car ownership experience ? Granted, if the car had been crashed, rolled into a ball or cut in half by an errant tree or signpost and subsequently been repaired and found its way back on the road, you'd have every reason to be furious, but because it's been driven hard ????
On two occasions some years ago I got involved with some fairly handy motorcyclists whilst driving my 996 GT3 and GT2 up in N.Wales, on both occasions we spent a good few minutes "enjoying a spirited drive".
Sure, we didn't inconvenience or put other road users at risk like the pair of clowns in the video, but we "made progress" on otherwise empty roads, and when we went our separate ways, we left with a flash of lights and a wave. When the time came to sell the cars, I don't recall feeling in any way shape or form guilty I'd failed to notify the next incumbents of the cars I was selling, that I'd engaged in some spirited driving with motorcyclists.

Good driving, dangerous mind, but well driven.
Wasn't even a turbo, rider in denial he couldn't get past a career.
In what way was that good? Driving on the wrong side of the road and forcing on coming traffic to take evasive action is good? Undertaking is good? Wasn't even a turbo, rider in denial he couldn't get past a career.
Driver relied on blind luck that the other road users didn't take him out. Such drivers should be hunted down and jailed.
Yeah, sorry, but driving fast and taking risks is not good driving. It's not like he was drifting with one hand out of the window at every roundabout, was it? He just did whatever it took to get past.
It seemed like he thought he was in for a kicking, given he abruptly pulled over in a layby at the end.

I have just watched it again in case i missed something? I did!!! The porsche driver is a Tw%t I cannot believe anyone would think that was good driving.Watch how he forces cars nearly off the road to pass them! All it would have taken is someone not being able to move out of the way to have ended in disaster.I would rather have a car that had been round the track a few times than one that is driven like that!! I would imagine he did not know he was on film and probably drove like that regularly! He was a danger to himself and anyone unfortunate enough to be on the same road as him! I am known to drive spiritedly when out with the L90 club and on many Ph runs,but I would find this type of driving unacceptable
