The car rev-matches on downshift and is quick in response to using the paddle shifters.
The exhaust is awesome, especially in the convertible. After 3k, I believe a cutout opens up and it sounds like Pandora just busted out of the box.
We drove the canyons for 2 days straight....TONS of road up there, and lots of fun stuff going on. You have to be careful...there's a lot of illegal driving going on. Sportbikers timing runs, as well as cars, sometimes with guys on the lookout with checkpoints and radios. Photographers set up on the big turns to catch you in your awesomeness as you fly past (or lose control).
We had a great time...no tickets...just lots of smiles and a couple of great photos.  |
Awesome! That's exactly what I have in mind and thanks for sharing. I can see me being the guy waxing his rental car in the hotel parking lot.
I've also just seen photos of ZHZ's on the dragstrip, mowing down sidewalk cafes, and floating in the ocean. This is definitely a bucket list experience for me and I plan on having fun, but I don't desire ending up on the evening news either.
Also to anyone interested in renting, there are many active Hertz Promo Codes that knock off an additional 15% or more, just use the google.
I had to give a trial lawyer caliber presentation to convince the wife to upgrade from the Malibu, but after 20 solid minutes, being rejected, waiting an hour and then 20 more minutes of deliberations I sealed the deal. Powerpoint available. PM me
