Canyon Run

[suprarx7nut]

I just went for a drive because I was tired of doing hw for the last 4 hours. I went into Boulder Canyon and holy shit was it awesome. Plenty of twists and turns for miles and miles and miles.

No steep inclines and you're inside a canyon. I came up on one car during the 4 miles into the canyon so it was nice and open. There's also a tunnel a couple hundred feet long to please your aural desires. All stock exhaust and it was still heavenly @ 6k rpms.

The dirt pull offs make a great spot to do subtle drifts when turning around too

Just wanted to express my elation. I LOVE MY SURPA :love:

sounds and looks sweet! to bad i'm in CA! i used to hit this one canyon when i was pissed off. it's a great way of letting off steam.

for the SoCal guys, it's Topanga Pass. you travel from the city, into a canyon, and exit out a couple miles out from Malibu. it's always a nice view after tearing up that pass and always calmed me down.

I don't push that hard. I'm more on the conservative side. I'm unfamiliar with the canyon and love my supra way too much to endanger it. The curves can be fun without risking death, lol.

Lucky. I got pulled over for speeding on a mountain road the other night. Talked my way out of it, too :evil2:

Ha, I was just driving through that canyon the other week! It's definitely a sweet little road, and the whole time I wished I was driving my supra... instead of my acura legend, whose brakes promptly faded on the downhill.

It's gonna be a killer drive when the MKIII's done.

I don't think I'll ever miss an austin meet because of the mountain road fun...

 

[OfnaRcR4]

You guys are making me jealous.

 

[Poodles]

the only glaring issue is the brakes on the MKIII in the twisties IMHO...

an issue I plan to fix with help from arz eventually...

The tunnel is at the very end and marked the halfway point in my 8 mile journey, going the opposite way. The more twisty parts are right after the video ends, but it gives you an idea of the scenery.

"My car is NA. I couldn't have been going much over 50!"

I've been there about 35 years ago. The only problem I had a AMC Gremlin at the time. Beat the hell out of that thing, then my younger brother got ahold of it. The little straight six was still banging away for a long time after that. Good times in the rockies.
