Default Went for a drive...

hmm.. let me host it elsewhere..

BTW yes I crossed lanes but the road was empty so there was no one coming up behind me. I was doing all the overtaking. And yes I crossed over the yellow in a couple spots but when I did I could see what was coming the other way. Never did I cross it in a blind turn.

We all can't live in Florida.. It was 40 out, I run allseasons, there was sand on the mountain (which surprised me), and it was still wet in shaded areas. I had to take it easy.

Uploading to YT now vs photobucket.

I wish I had those roads here, we may be able to drive on summer tires all year but straight aways are not always fun

Saw your video on FB. We have many roads up here like that-It's a blast when you can catch them empty.

What? No tire squeal? You're doing 50% of that car's ability, despite the conditions. Get dat ass out and have a bit of fun.

Looks like fun! I have recently been thinking of selling the 71 BB Chevelle because I want something that will handle like the new cars. I am partial to the 2001-2002 camaros right now but I change my mind often.

You have GOT to get your ass down here and run with Marcus and me. I'll give you the confidence to steer with the ass end in one day, regardless of conditions. You can drive my car.

It's not the same. Mustangs are notorious for snap oversteer. Corvette much easier to drive with TC off than a Mustang.

I drive at least one stang at our school per month. I certainly know what they can do, and why I don't drive one. That being said, as long as you can keep your ass planted in the seat, the drive can still be quite entertaining.

You wanna scare me ? Tell me I've got a noob student in a Shelby GT. I spend an extra 10 minutes stressing Dont turn the wheel under braking.
