hey guys just thought i would tell you guys about what i did today even though it doesnt have to do with my Eclipse. i went up into the mountains where there was a bunch of windy roads and i took my dads supercharged Mini cooper while a bunch of my friends were driving thier cars which were an Evo, 2 WRX, and an SRT-4. we were just trying to see what the cars could do and my friend with the evo thought he was just going to run away from everyone but me and the mini were on him the whole way. the only time he pulled away was on strait aways but i wasnt complaining. we were going around turns at 65 when the sign said to take them at 15 or 25. i think the average speed was about 70 though so it was pretty intense. i just cant wait to go and do that in my GSX when i get it here in about 2 months.

I know what you're talking about man...I have been driving up into the Shenandoah National Park from Charlottesville, VA to do some fly fishing, and the 30 min. drive up there is absolutely amazing. As far as taking turns that fast, just make sure there isn't a cliff that you could slide off of if you skid...like the video of the viper that slid off of the cliff around a turn!

Okay, the where does the viper go!? It slides off the side of something, and falls far enough for the car to disappear...so where does it go? How do they do that without damaging a $80,000 car?
