311 turns in 11 miles. We would have to do it both ways in order to go back to the Rod Run.

I'll try and get my good friend in B'ham to come up for it.

west texas blues, did it for me. He post a lot in the multimedia section in the sticky photoshop thread. numbers id say around 385-410hp and 370-390tq.
you should click off some low 8 high 7 second 1/8th mile passes if you can 60ft in the 1.8xs around 87-90mph. just a guess though

I live in Maryville.It is a much pretty ride on 321 thru walland and townsend and on to gatlinburg the back way in.Lots of curves and turns if you like to corner carve.You can catch 321 off of I75 in Lenoir city.From lenoir city to maryville is about 20 miles.Maryville to Gatlinburg the back way can take you another 45 minutes with all the turns.If you guys need any hints or ideas send me a PM.I go every year too.

No way around traffic...but plenty of back roads.Like I stated below, catch route 129 which is Alcoa highway from I 40,then to 321 in Maryville to Gatlinburg.Lots of curves and nice mountain views.

well the front is currently stock. going to do a ws1 hood mod to the ws6, and shave the lips off the bottom of the TA front bumper to match formula style ground effects.
