From what I'd seen around St Pete when I was a kid, no one moves over when there is a tree, garbage can, garage door, etc. in the way either! I was amazed how many 5 MPH collisions I witnessed by very "experienced" drivers.

Unless you encounter other fast cars going out for a drive, then good luck lol. 2 weeks ago during a corona drive i encountered a GTR. Let's just say i saw only his tail lights

Found a good road about 25min north of me on google maps, went to check it out last weekend. Was only about 50 out but still had fun, lots of turns and hills. Was hoping to go back this long weekend but its supposed to rain sat/sun and the temperature isn't going up so I may be stuck inside again. The footage from last weeks is till on my PDR, haven't pulled it yet. Maybe I'll sit in the car and view it if I cant go out at the least.

I think whatever that GTR had for mods, if i had 700rwhp i think he still would have taken me, or maybe beaten me but the slaughter wouldn't have been that bad lol.
Like he put bus lengths instantly on me, and i couldn't even catch up. His tail lights kept getting further and further away. I wonder if it's that guy from NNJ with the 1000+awhp GTR. It was the same color and everything. So even if i had 800rwhp, his 1000awhp plus the DCT is too much, he would have a lot of bus lengths lol

damn that sounds great. What exhaust you have? I live in Los Angeles in the SFV and my road of choice during corona times is PCH. I go as long as I can handle hearing the wife bark at me when I get home.

Thanks!!
Good luck!
Yes, stock ported SC and Snout with Katech 103 TB, very hard to keep up with that much power and all wheel drive, unless he does not know how to use it...
Thanks, I run BBE headers, mid pipe and Duel mode Mufflers...
