I think it may technically be for trucks... if you look at the incline there, it's pretty steep, and a truck would probably have a hard time getting up it... so they did the loop to break up the incline in a space where zig-zagging wasn't an option because of the mountainside.

But yes, the engineer probably said "Zees road est boring... Porsche like zee loop-zee-loop! No one else matters!"

[DUBSf22c]

prolly right

damn. Where are some local fun roads, besides the tail of the dragon?

[Ran]

damn. Where are some local fun roads, besides the tail of the dragon?There's a road about 15mins from my house between Canton and Cartersville that is f*cking sweet. The only problem being that there's nothing back there so if you wreck, you're f*cked in the middle of nowhere.

Not giving any specific names or directions since it's pretty uncongested at night and I don't want a bunch of ricers bringing attention to my favorite local road. If you wanna go, meet up with me and we'll go through it slow a few times so you can get used to it. :ninja:


Funny though, my solid-rear-axle Mustang doesn't handle it as well as the Miata and Yaris did. :lmfao:

[industrial_1]

are you talking about the road that I rode shotgun in the Miata on?

*i'm a former tercel owner*

[Ran]

are you talking about the road that I rode shotgun in the Miata on?

*i'm a former tercel owner*Holy hell dude. Talk about incognito. :lmao:

Yeah, that's the one. Though I recently found a better entryway that is a LOT more narrow and curvy but still has some decent straights to get speed. :goodjob:

[DUBSf22c]

I will def be a fanboy for that road! Nice choice ran!

[industrial_1]

cool. I haven't been over there in forever; maybe I'll have to take the SVT over there sometime soon.

[Ran]

cool. I haven't been over there in forever; maybe I'll have to take the SVT over there sometime soon.Let me know. It's always better to go there with a buddy incase something goes wrong. If something happens when you're alone, you could really be in a bad spot since there's nothing out there. Especially if you get injured.

[DieselNuts]

I'd like to hit it up sometime, but thats a pretty good distance from where I live so I dont know when I would be able to make it there.

[TheGrillMan]

if anyone ever took the time there are prob 100god roads all around dahlonega in north ga


alot of them are hidden and pretty hard to find unless you live up there


im mostlikely moving back there sometime in the near future so im down to show you guys some fun times

If I'm right, that's in Bolivia, and it is named THE worlds most dangerous road. About 300 lives annually.
