Actually if you follow Patterson Pass all the way towards Tracy it cuts through the hills with all the windmills. Very cool drive. Eventually Patterson Pass becomes Mountain House road when it hits 580.

So the master plan was to start an account in August so I could post a kill in October? I'm busted.

Call my un informed, stupid, whatever, is that Toyota?... What does the EVO have under the hood that is such a good mod base for speed? I understand they are a lightweight imports but damn cleaning an 11 second Z06 by 3 0r 4 car lengths from a dig is just sick and unbelieveable.....

Did I read that right?
You claim to know about skylines, but have no clue what an evo is

Relax, man. This guy is a good guy. He's posted some informative stuff on here about imports and has never tried to stir the pot.

Nice kill, OP.

Hey jibby, you have a car that is basically toyota just another name and you thought an evo was one. 2 the op, if i'm right, an evo 8 has like 286hp and like 287 tq at the motor stock. AWD plus some mods and I could see you launching him, but I don't think you would be able to take him past maybe 90 or so unless you got alot more done than I am giving you credit for. Either way good kill

And less and less people there every week with all those foreclosures. Sorta sad actually but yeah there's plenty of space out there. Construction has been halted and there's freshly paved roads everywhere. There's also Altamont Raceway around here but I haven't been out there yet. Doesn't seem like the new ownership group is big on public track days.

Remember the 335 was on a MD so they're probably not really 35 HP difference here. Add in the gearing differences and driver differences and it's believable.
