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!"

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.

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

**industrial_1** · 08-04-2008, 01:13 PM

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.

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.

**DUBSf22c** · 08-04-2008, 01:18 PM

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

**industrial_1** · 08-04-2008, 02:00 PM

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** · 08-04-2008, 02:16 PM

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** · 08-04-2008, 02:21 PM
