Very interesting.

Actually, it can either be more terrifying if you are prone to think about what is
lurking out there in the dark (precipitous drops hiding around blind corners), or
much more relaxed if you are more of the "out of sight, out of mind" set.

I enjoyed driving it fast at night.  Having another fast car to follow helps a lot,
since you can use their headlights for extra long distance vision, but either way
it's fun.  For that matter, it was fun in the rain on the way in on Friday.  I
wouldn't recommend it on slippery tires, and I sure would advise a more cautious
approach under wet conditions, but it was indeed fun.
