First drive advice: GT2

So, I came upon something totally unexpected, and absolutely mind numbing. I ran into the owner of a 02 GT2 at work the other day. He offered me a ride, and then the chance to take it out. SO in a few days time I will be behind the wheel. What things should I remember as I'm driving?

That car is a widow-maker. There were faster cars for the money, not many as scary though. Reminded me of 964 Turbo when I drove one.

Actually, at the time of its introduction, the GT2 set the production car record on the Nurburgring, shattering the previous time set by the Mk. 1 GT3 by 10 seconds.

To the contrary, it was and still is one of the fastest cars on the road at any price.

IMO speed is relative. Also there are other challenging tracks with less corners than the Ring....
