I thought I would chime in about forced induction people people. Yes your car is much faster in a straight line, but the key for twisted sisters is more brakes, suspension, tires and familiarity with the road. There are a few blind turns and sweepers that are off chamber or bumps where you would normally get on it. Now if you know the road and have the above mods then you can be faster depending on how far you want to push it. I will warn you Tim, myself and others can tell you, even if you know the road its easy to overdue it. I feel that most with forced induction are gonna hit brake fade in some of the more twisty sections unless your running hp+ or 4piston calibers. With my almost stock power with upgraded brakes, I could feel some fade when I pushed it super hard. So remember have fun and be safe. If you hit your limit, just slow down and enjoy the ride. The scenery is amazing on this road. I bet plenty of people will have issues keeping up with tim, his knowledge of the road is 2nd to non, plus hes nuts.
