OMG, that road is AWESOME! Nice banked turns, too bad it's 1 lane and you can't pass the slow-pokes infront unless you jump onto incoming traffic (which could be loads of fun on its own but the blind corners would pwn you unless it's at night) I wonder how a little 4 banger 130awhp would do, only went on it w/ the Z

we plan a few runs up and a few runs down...leaving Skyline Drive you only get one shot...you start to learn the corners after two or three times...
got brakes? if not get drift...lol
FYI the up hill has two lanes and trust me when i say there will be some indirect drift action on the uphill climbs....
I dont have your # grab mine from someone or pm me yours.... (one minus our tysons lunch)

I dunno why, but i've always sucked at uphill climbs. It doesn't *feel* the same for some reason. Most of the time I just practice downhill since my car doesn't have enough power to make it up a hill @ a fun speed anyhow =)
on a side note: I got this insane backroad story I hafta writeup for you guys - 350z vs 350z turbo

Hey, would I be allowed to enter? I haven't check my cool meter lately 
I would rather go last since it would be my second try at "professional backroad driving" with the Z or the WRX. LOL
That way if by any change I fall behind, nobody is messed up because of it.

I did a 1hr 30min marathon run through backroads one night and learned quickly that stock brakes don't hold up to constant abuse.. actually, 35 mins in they were already squishy.
