Power is one thing but being able to drive is what counts. Im going sat. at 12. P.m. me if you wish to attend..several other cars will be there.
    I totally agree with the concept of what you are saying, but its far too Tokyo Drift to be realistic. I go up to north Georgia mountains all the time to ride motorcycles...I used to practically live up there if it wasnt raining. You can not realistically expect to "race" someone up there...there is far too much traffic to expect not to get caught-up behind traffic. And yes, you can pass people on the double-yellows, but personally its not worth my life and/or my cars well-being trying to race through traffic on a mountain road. I love to go up there and go as fast as possible when its possible, but the reality is that its rarely clear enough to have any type of competition.

    Yes on the last thing you said about competition, but that's not my fault. What's the difference in cuttin through traffic on a hwy. and doing it on the mnt.? None. It's actually safer if your a MATURE driver in the mnt. because you have to know your limits and your not just rubbin the carpet off your floorboard, ya know. Tokyo Drift is bullshit i'm just talking about being able to ACTUALLY drive your car. I said i'll run rolls on the way back and i mean it but the VIDEO from the mnt. will be sooo much better...my offer STANDS..p.m. me if ya wanta go..if you don't want to run your STILL welcome..

    I love to drive up there, so Id be down for going up there with some people. Im not going to race someone up there. You think that its safer to pass someone on a two-lane road, across a double-yellow line and potentially around a blind corner in the mountains, than it is on the interstate? That doesnt make a lot of sense to me. And how can you "race" when, at any time, you could get hung-up behind a bunch of leaf-lookers? There are way too many variables that make it almost pointless to try. I always find it funny when people talk about "racing" up there...I have these flashbacks of those Japanese "touge" videos. Too bad most of those are staged
