Default My first run in the twisties.

Just have to say the car was a lot of fun. Although im used to taking my r1 on a road like this and not the car. The temp was around 40s and there was cinders on the ground but overall not a bad day. Its a 24.5 mile stretch of hills and hairpins. I am definitely looking into getting a lsd from a different model because the base model rear has a lot of one legging coming out of the turn.

The z is all stock with 130 on the clock.

Even with a VLSD you will do a lot of one legging. The VLSD is close to useless even in perfect condition.

Yes sort of like that but a lot more aggressive turns. Twisties is a motorcycle term used for constant hairpin turns.

Very familiar with it. Easily one of the best driving/riding (I've done both) roads in Pennsyltucky. I've seen it called the Dragon of the notheast but I think that's inaccurate since its next to nothing like it but its still a real good time. If you ever find yourself in central Pa apparently 44 north of I-80 is supposed to great as well. Enjoy the car.

Yes, if you want an LSD, get a real LSD. Not the VLSD crap.

You can pick up route 44 by getting off of I-80 near Jersey Shore. If you look at a map its pretty easy to find. I hardly ever get out to the Burg anymore but what color is your Z?
