Has to be winding roads for me too. The most enjoyable part of our trip was cornering the vtec on the twisty roads of Mahableshwar and Panchgani... Nothing like a few twists and turns to make it a perfect drivers day... What say GTO?

Cheers

You bet Dippy. Remember those fast right handers at 6500 rpm on the racing line?

GTO

SLK · 22nd June 2004, 23:05

I'd preffer going straight (its not a Vtec its WagonR)..... and fast... but would enjoy the twists for a change.

Well, I've held back posting here only because the answer was all too obvious!

The feeling you get after you've covered a certain twisty stretch of road as fast as your car (and you) can possibly do it leaves you with a feeling that is just surreal. The only thing better is to ride that same stretch of tarmac on a good motorcycle.

Now there is a certain amount of amusment in reaching the top speed of your vehicle in a straight line, but honestly, how long does that feeling last? (well, if you were doing 230mph in a Mclaren F1...it would last, but I'm talking real world here!).

ITs gotto be the twisties for me.

straight straight line

Shan2nu · 24th June 2004, 14:52

Twisties for me, driving Rehaans Accent with those awesome tyres was great, of course the car didn't have the power to excite but the traction the tyres provided was top class.

Oversteering on a FWD and screeching the tyres for over 3-4 secs. LOL

or just the fact that u cant enjoy twisty roads unless u have a car like a vtec

imagine a safari on twisty roads...... half of the time i would be worried where it will over turn!!!!

so thats the reason i stick to bikes for really good twisties!

Hey man .. u got it pretty wrong when u say that one never knows when it would go over --- safari and the sierra are probably the safest indian vehicles for driving on the winding roads and that 2 at full throttle !!!

But u got the other thing right -- nuthing better than the elim on winding roads -- I too own one and trust me when i say that I've done more than anyone else with that bike when it comes to abusing it. ABUSED but PAMPERED, thats my elim

Weight does not necessarily equate to safety, and the Sierra/Safari duo are among the worst handling Indian cars I have ever driven. A friends Sierra Turbo is awesome on the straights, but its oversteers like crazy....had pathetic brakes...and both of them weigh 2000 kgs!
