Best around here is the very long, two lane, fast 270 degree banked corner when you take the transition between the 2 FWY north to the 134 West. Even in my van I can surprise a lot of people who slow down way too much, taking them on the inside lane and then doing a nice move to the outside as the corner finishes, or from the outside lane taking a normal late apex and then back out again. }:)

You should replace the MAP sensor and holder. The Service Bulletin is 04-073.

57S to 71. Not a great handling thrill. But long downhill run. First place I ever hit triple digits when dad told me to open up the turbo diesel mercedes. Hit 110+ as a 15 yo. Returned 12 years later and hit 150+ in Stacey's Z28.

Thanks John. I had previously become aware of the TSB, but your post reminded me to get it taken care of. There's another excuse for my poor driving gone out the window. :lol:
