Very good staying inside the yellow, one of my biggest pet peeves on that road with cars traveling it.
Dude… have you driven the tail of the dragon? Just how much faster do you think you could take those curves in a brand new car that you’re trying to learn, on my first time driving on this incredibly dangerous stretch of road??? Most cases I was going twice the safety limit or better. I’m not saying that someone who knew the road like the back of their hand, and knew the vehicle they were driving just as well couldn’t go a little faster, but you can’t go much faster on those curves. You just can’t… Physics.
Umm, I guess perception is reality but it just looks slower than I felt when I was in a arguably a less capable car (RS7). I didn't feel like my reply deserved this response, but whatever you put in your coffee let me know. I need some of that energy. I think I mentioned everything you said, so I'm not sure what you're worked up about.
