|  long hoods week
no matter how hard i tried, the 612 is no match for mid or rear engine bastards. duh. but really great fun!  i was sawing the wheel back and forth like a millions times to get thru this mountain, really exhausted and dizzy chasing these mofos, all i know is my 612 handles better than the SLS, double duh. once we got down, i put it in auto and comfort mode and just chilled........... the 458 could never cruise this relaxingly, sigh........ im getting old.                     |

John- Looks like a fun trip. You have it figured out. On a trip from Oslo to Rome, or Albuquerque to South Carolina, the front engine GTs every time.

John- Does your car have the HGTS package? Parts of it could be retrofitted for not much money.

no, i thought about getting the thicker roll bars, but really dont wanna ruin the ride, and the 612 really isnt suited for the local intense twisties. but i really like taking it there occasionally when im tired of the others, and i run it till the tortional stiffness begins complaining, lots of fun! i bet nobody drive theirs like i do.

John- Try CT OFF and you will find you have enough torque to bring the tail around with the throttle, which will cut down on roll. More fun, too. A bit rough on the tires, though.
