just curious...
i also ride a motorcycle and am just curious as to whether you cagers like to drag or hit the twisties (turns). why do you prefers one over the other?
i myself prefer canyon surfing. the reason is because i think it is a matter of skills over technologies. just my opinion, and experience.
please feel free to bash me. :)

I love twisties too but my suspension is not ready for it yet, other than that the autobahn is a regular thing for me anytime I want to open it up.
Paradox, I like your avatar, looks cool!

EXACTLY! the way i see it, any fool can drive in a straight line for 15 seconds or less, BFD! It's more fun to go left and right WHILE going quicly.

Mike your car doesn't out corner mine. Its equal now because of my absolutely POS rubber and 18s. You have 17s basically they best size rim and basically race tires on there, they are one of the if not THE best performance street tire available. They grip in every situation, hell last night in the snow they were gripping, back end didn't want to come out. Once I sell my 18s and get some stockers back on and 245s on all sides my car will feel completely different. To tell you the truth I can't wait. And BTW damnit, when we gonna work on my car, we got some stuff to do.

twisties have always been my favorite... unforchonetly my car sucks at both, the amazing V6 1/4mile times are kinda pathatic from what ive herd, and my wheels/tires suck so bad right now that im afraid to take corners too hard. 15inch steelies with hubs and crappy all season michlen tires :( i guess all the burnouts and general ****ing around i did this summer took its toll on my rear tires. the back slides around too much, its kinda scary. i guess i need to invest in some new wheels and tires :p oh well, mabey santa will read this and come through ;)

thats hard to do when the treads preaty much gone and it fishtails on dry pavement. if the tires dont grip coming out of the drift its easy to lose control and **** up the car. besides i dont really have the skillz :p
