no and I dont suppose there is.
My favourite drive is over the two passes in the english lake
district, Hardnott and Wrynose, very steep to the point of breaking
traction, very tight turns that have you on full lock looking out of
the side windows rather than the windscreen and often both those
features combined. (You get plenty of time to look at the view while
waiting for oncoming traffic at passing places). Thats driving, the
Amalfi coast is just a slightly narrow road with average bends.
theres pics here, they dont do it justice but if you look closely at
the R picture you will see a car perched half way up one of hte steep
sections.
