The largest group I've done a canyon run with was 6. The more vehicles the greater the probability that something will go wrong. *knock on wood*. Don't get caught.

On oxnard nissan meet day, the canyon run afterwards....was bigger. Yea. I do agree with the previous comment, but that's why I chose the Canyon I chose, and the time I chose it at.

I'll be there will my Z. Taking some of my friends as well. 911 C4S, Track Z, SC Civic, M3, and RX-7. Not sure if my other friend w/ NSX and S2K are coming or not.

We are not into dying at night though, and I prefer day time drives. So we'll be staying at the back this time because my friends and I just wanna have a relaxing cruise.

My thoughts exactly. I want a nice spirited drive but I gotta see how these other guys are drivin first, I aint a grandpa but I dont wanna hold any maniacs up or have them close enough to leave a LIC plate imprint on my bumper. I have been up there alone at night and its fine, you just gotta consider the potential for falling rocks, fallen rocks, Coyotes, Deer, Cougars and what not. I called the POLICE and requested an escort so we should be fine.................just kidding .........LOL somebody must of got pissed , if even for a second ........ Nice array of cars you got comin.....this should be fun .

Ok I take back what I said about the amount of cars. I was on the oxnard meet canyon run, haha. But I meant that many cars at night. But ya if the non-maniacs stick back in the pack then all should be fine.

Vince, whats up man? I left a little before you guys and missed the Canyon Run from Oxnard. Where did you guys go? I took the PCH all the way to Decker(Canyon) and then took that to Mulholland Hwy and down to Topanga where we got on the 101, made a Cayman look bad and then just as I was getting on the 405N I saw you guys gettin on the 405S. I stopped in the canyons at a pull out for a little bit but you guys still got ahead of me. So what Canyon did you run?

Are you goin to this run tonight?

Haha, we wen't through Mulholland too. We stopped as well to chug down some orange sodas and use the bushes. I don't know how we got ahead of ya.

I don't feel like driving way out there for a canyon run. Maybe if it was a lil' more local. I'm gonna meet up with Mark in Torrance at the Crossroads.

Pretty good run guys, too bad about those rocks though. First time I've run at night and with all the cars there, the road was pretty well lit up.

Going back down though, it seemed like everyone started to leave one by one. It would have been cool if we had come down as a group. I the guy in the red m3 btw.

Ahh you were right behind me when we were coming down. Great clean looking car Everyone was pretty kick back and conscious of each other's drivings.

Obsessed... your flywheel is more of obnoxious, and traction control is not your friend j/k haha... clean car... and did someone drive back to get that rock for Mar Oner as souvenir?

Yeah the Flywheel sounds like a cement mixer but it makes a difference. TCS Sucks. I always shut it off but I forgot and heezyo2o wanted to hear the exhaust so when I popped the clutch its like it just choked. Once I cut it off it was fine. Flywheel noise goes away at about 2500rpm and also if you hold in the clutch. All in all the difference in acceleration and deceleration is worth the noisey racket You guys should go to the 2/12 meet(daytime).

Thanks. I saw you pull over and stop, but later on I was wondering if something was wrong with your car or if I should of stopped as well. Glad things are fine. I was able to catch up to your friend in the 911 for most of the way down.

Like you though, I prefer at least a little sunlight so I can look ahead into the turns.

Car sounds really good bro. Here is that thread about $600 nismo exhausts I was talking about https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/166560-nismo-exhaust-600-ebay-again.html Perhaps I can snag one if they become available again.

Seems to good to be true but if it is for real and not a knockoff then it is a great deal and you should definitely jump on it next time. Just keep all your paperwork in case you get it and its bogus. Good luck.
