Is this a leisurely cruise or a spirited drive?
How long is the drive?

[Mako Koiwai]

Very spirited in certain extended sections ... starts after early coffee and donuts and goes to close to lunch ... with a couple of break stops/photo ops.

Not as spirited but I believe a more diverse group of cars to look at, including a 1971 Daytona and a "real" Cobra.
