yeah, i agree with chef, there's something about driving in the woods with a cliff next to you, don't know if you're gonna end up in a ditch or hitting the curb, pass a red light or two, hitting 120 was awsome on the inner street, as apposed to track where you gotta wear helmets, if you spin out, you just hit cones instead of hitting trees and on the track, you can SEE your turns as apposed to canyon runs, you don't know what the hell's around the corner, a little more more exciting for me on the street. i think just the danger of it is alot more fun than tracks

oh yeah, i went for a midnight run around the perimeter of San Diego last night looking for prey (rice rockets) for fun, i found this stretch of highway going slightly downhill, i hit 135 in no time, passing cars like crazy, i think all the cars on the rd thought i was a police car or something, they all broke and pulled over as i passed from behind. i knew i had another 2 miles of downhill, REALLY wanting to hit 140-145, but just the thought of the rubber not gripping the concrete ACTUALLY SCARED ME!!!, so i let my foot off the gas pedal but since i was gonig downhill, i stayed at a constant 125 in neutral, can't wait to get 235 z's when i change my tire.

Nam, I will suggest this again and again to you. BRAKE MOD!!! You earn and live the title, "Crazy **** Rd Rager", but remember the smell of those brakes! If you're doing 135 and need to stop, that car won't do it fast enough to keep you alive at that speed. Slotted rotors and bigger calipers and pistons all around. Spend the money!

I hope you smoked some of those PeePee Racers! LOL

Fantasize all you want but you haven't driven your car until you take it to the track. I've driven Mulholland, Decker, Kanan, Yorba Beuna, etc. at speeds in the 100's but that was nothing compared to this. Try doing that canyon run 10 times without stopping with a supercharged RSX, EVO, Porsche and a Vette riding your butt. I gaurantee you will push your car harder than you ever will on a canyon run.

Point 4 Tim...

I agree though - u really hone your skills on the track - especially
since youre in competition w/ other cars....



Bumper video looks great!
that thing sounds like a beast when its idling....
