Yeah....rear came out just a little but I was like WTF? lol

I already have the RSB......will have the H&R springs on by then. They actually arrive today....I are excite!

You should be alright then. First year I only had the RSB. Second year I added H&R springs...made quite a difference. Stock all seasons both years.

This year I am coming with Michelin Pilot Super Sports and Koni's!

Meanwhile on the Dragon.

This is why we can't stress enough, drive within your limits and make sure the car is GTG before the trip.

Too fast for corner or lost concentration or both?

My guess is too fast because not enough experience, either driving experience or experience with the road. I'd bet he went in too hot, understeered, car finally rotates (either intentionally or unintentionally) and the driver wasn't ready for that. Could be wrong but I'd bet $5 on it

And make sure you drive the 35' Winnebago and tow the jeep. (True story. On my early morning drive across the Dragon headed to Benton's Smokehouse for 10 lbs of bacon. Near the overlook, coming towards me, 35' Winnebago towing a Jeep. Stopped the clown and asked if he had any idea of what was ahead. "Heard there were some curves on this road." Shook my head, told him the best move he could make would be to turn around and get the hell off of the Dragon. He kept on going...a total asshat.)

He probably had to use the shitter in the back of the camper before it was all over. Ignorance must be bliss...especially after you drop a #2.

Looks like too much power (prob WOT for that M3), lifted, overcorrected, and bam! Facing the wrong way. Looks like E36 M3 values are going up!

Most important thing for new dragon goers to learn. I don't understand why people continue to do it when it is looked down upon by everyone. not to mention the danger you're putting yourself in.

Cant wait!!!

I have been reading reviews and I've been seeing alot of negative comments. About traffic cars/harleys, tourists, dumb riders almost hitting them. Did these guys complaining about traffic go at the wrong time?

I know, most people, including myself, don't wanna drive a Focus ST.

A lot of it is what time of day. The dragon is really busy between like 10 AM and like 5 PM. Before or after then it's clear. Some days are better than others but that's my experience on weekends. Weekdays are good, except that's when you're most likely to encounter a tractor trailer

Looks like those new Altima commercials are right! That black one ditched that E36! (hah! ditched) Must be why he crashed. He was going so hard to try and catch that thing!

(ok so I know its probably not an Altima in front of the bmw)

These cars are all the same except for stickers.... right? I mean we have proof now.

 

[death_roll]

It was a G35 / G37 sedan. I know from experience that the 6spd models can really hustle if you drive them right.

 

[Nomar06]

Daryl, Killboy, mentioned that the road being damp and early morning had something to do with the M3 wreck. I'm sure the driver had something to do with it also.

Looks bigger than a G series. M35 is what I'm thinking. Think I remember driving with that hustling 6spd too.....

^^
He's right.

 

[Nix]

So its a fancy altima! hahaha

 

[death_roll]

Aren't all infiniti sedans just famcy altimas?
