    Default Respect this thread with a moment of silence...















    I think that's all there is to say about that road and the lucky SRT cruising its 4200lb self around it. The Challenger is suddenly irrelevant.

    No that was the Stelvio Pass. Top Gear made a journey from...

    1. The Col De Turini (WRC's Monte Carlo Rally uses this road)


    2. The San Bernardino Pass


    And as quoted by Jezza "Davos to Stelvio" the Greatest driving road in the world.

    3. Davos to Stelvio via Bormio


    4. Stelvio Pass




    To Onurleft:

    I read the article about the Challenger's trip from Motor Trend. Good Read.

    They also mention my personal contribution of an additional Greatest driving road.

    The Futa Pass.

    Indeed it is, judging by the hordes of leather-suited crotchrockeeters zipping all around. We're in the city of Fiorenzuola d'Arda, midway between Bologna and Florence, driving the Passo della Futa (Futa Pass) -- a tight, but spectacular two-lane road that winds up into the Apennine Mountains. We summit at just below 3000 ft and head higher, on to Passo della Raticosa (Raticosa Pass). Together, these two passes make up part of the famous Mille Miglia (1000 mile) endurance race. Like the Targa Florio and Carrera Panamerica, the Mille Miglia has a special place in automotive history for bestowing fame to brands like Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati, and Porsche and drivers including the great Tazio Nuvolari, Stirling Moss, and Juan Manuel Fangio. There is a Chrysler connection here as well -- in the 1953 Mille Miglia, Paul Frere drove a Chrysler Saratoga over these roads to a first place finish in the over 2.0L class. Though it is no longer run in earnest -- the last race on these passes occurred in 1957, after a horrific accident killed a Ferrari driver and a navigator as well as 11 bystanders -- the Mille Miglia Storica, a revival run for pre-1957 cars, is run every year along the same route.

    I didn't feel this picture got all it deserved since you dont know what a fascinating location this is. Fiat's retired ROOF test course.

    Sucks to be the bike stuck behind the car lol. I always let bikes pass me when I'm driving in the mountains/crazy roads.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    ^No, because drifting is gay.

    Please dont mention drifting when looking at these beautiful roads.

    You obviously don't get that it is built on an Alp.

    Have a look at the extreme elevation change.
