Haha, I had to save something interesting for the off-season! It is hard to find a video host that will host something longer than 10 minutes. I just wish I could get it hosted in higher quality… I just watched the original on my parents new TV, you can really tell the speed there! And yeah, torque is where it’s at! ---

That was a sweet vid. Good job Theo and the driving was great too. When that cop came around the corner even I was like “OH Shit” it was like I was there. I hate it when cops just pop up like that. Your BOV is a Greddy, which one is it. I got a Greddy type RS but yours sounds real nice, loud too! ---

Smitty, I don’t really know too much about the MX-3, but he does have the KLZE dropped in. He was a new addition to the road trip this year. It’s pretty quick. Lucas, thanks man! Yeah, dangerous fun. After seeing how blind that one corner was I wouldn not attempt a pass there agian… John, Haha, that cop scared me big time too! And I re-live it every time I watch the vid. He was actually shaking his finger at me. The BOV is a Type S ---

> [@fastback240"](#): > > ok i vote for a road trip up there. That won’t end well. There’s guaranteed one person in a big enough group to do something stupid. Best thing you can do is venture up with a couple friends, who you know CAN drive. Take it easy and enjoy. Otherwise I can see someone with no proper setup attempt this and end up 20 feet off into a ditch. I personally wouldn’t attempt it with stock suspension, It’s to unpredictable. ---

^ I agree with Martina. Not the kind of road you’d wanna drive with a big cruise, unless it was something on the scale of Rotaryfest or whatever that RX-7 one was that did it with escorts etc… This is a weekend adventure with some good friends and a camera… Like Theo did. Also, watched the whole video, and no, I can honestly say we don’t have roads with that many switch backs, but the speed limits are higher, and there’s less traffic/cops. Plus the tail looked like it’d be more fun on a bike. Definitely one of those things to do before you die… ---

martina and pete are right, but i only expect the OGs would go, and those who want to go but cant drive/dont have reliable cars wont be invited sorry to say, i just think its a better idea to cruse up with ppl that know there cars as well as your car inside and out… so if anyone wants to go this summer im in… ---

Yeah, you guys have it bang on… Small groups are where it’s at for something like this. Large groups attract more attention too. You could attempt this in a stock suspensioned car, you would just have to take it easy. I am looking forward to going back although I’m not sure when that will be. I’m good for a while now 🙂 It’s kinda like Skiing at Whistler Blaccomb, once you go there, nothing around here will ever compare. ---

Sorry for the revival, but I was just searching my old posts and found this one. I still don’t know how to embed… tried it a couple times. This soothes the turbo withdraw a little bit. I do still have an s chassis to mess around with this winter though. ---

Has anyone beat the time attack record recentlly in a car? I think those days are long gone by the sounds of it. As much as I would love to touch that road, one misjudgement in my car-shifting into 3rd at the wrong time-would give me too much torque, pushing my car into the guardrail. Definitely a high stakes road that I wouldn’t want to touch without impeccable throttle control and foot work. I think that road would be a ton of fun in an FD though. Less torque, higher rpm range. ---
