Talking Racing In Canyons

Have any of you guys taken your camaros driving through a crazy canyon. i went out drive on tapo canyon on my lunch break and fuck it was so fun. my car handled so good. it's kind of scary because it's only a two lane canyon so when cars come you pass them really close with no room to spare. i wanted to lower my car 1" will that make it handle better since i'm lowering the center of gravity.

Re: Racing In Canyons

the speed limit said 25 tops and i was easily doing 50, the only thing i hate is a narrow road, because on my side i had the fucken mountain, so if i got too close i would scrape my camaro

But I'd laugh and call you mufasa (or dead) if the wildebeasts came tramping down the hill and stomped you...

I think I have ADD

Re: Racing In Canyons

Yeah a truck passed by so close i was surprised he didn't break my side mirror. but seriously it's such a adrenaline rush, anyone can drive in a straight line but driving through canyons or crazy roads really takes skills.

Re: Racing In Canyons

well, dont really condone that kinda action, because in addition to killing yourself, you can kill other people, but i will have to say, driving the IROC home over the blue ridge mountains, i thought i was doing 70mph (50mph zone) i had no body roll, steering was great, i was driving one handed, looked down, i was doing 105mph.

Re: Racing In Canyons

That's like how after my dad takes my car out (liek once a week while im at school... "i can't just let a car like that sit!") he always tells me "you have to really watch out in your car keep your speed down, its really easy to hit 90 mph when you think you're doing 50..." and i just give him a death stare. And he knows EXACTLY why.
