Gotta say city roads because anybody can go fast in a straight line (highway, etc.), its all about the twisties!


Unless you know of a good twisty highway in Northern California. If you do, PM me. No, seriously, PM me.

I voted highway but like city streets as well. Too bad I had to choose one.


And hitting the twisties suck if you're with some idiots who drive way over their heads.

Re: Favorite Race Spot

My dad grabs on the side like a little girl when I take corners or accelerate

Highway is the best because they are built with High Speed in mind. Face it going 150+ is more of an adrenaline rush then hitting some twisties, but they are both fun.

Stop light racing on city streets is just gay.

I'm with driftu and sr20detpower on this one, the idiots on the road in california just love to swarm around me. Highway driving is a rush. A couple of weeks ago, I got to drive a friends older jag (not sure what year) with a new V-12 pushin 475/492 on the desolate I-99 at 2 AM.....Its such a rush being in a car that big and fast. 145 with an auto and plenty of pedal left is just amazing
