Which gives u a bigger thrill???

Sam · 21st June 2004, 17:06

Which type of driving or racing do u prefer to do? And why does it feel better than the other?

Pferdestärke · 21st June 2004, 18:07

Has to be Winding, Twisty Roads for most of us. You know why its called the Drag right? Coz it just Drags on and everything that Drags on, is fairly boring. On Twistier roads, even if you're not racing and just cruising along it gives you more thrill than the straight boring highways. Though I always take the expressway, while going from Bombay to Pune and would take the Bahns anyday over the twistier bi-tracks of europe etc, but thats just to save time and stuff. But as far as liking/thrill is concerned it has to be the 2nd Vote. And I am pretty sure even u'd choose that right SAM? After all thats where the WRX is at home.!

cars definitely twisties.. bikes maybe drag the rush is good.. cars to drag are dead boring unless u r running some NOS

winding & twisty roads for me 2. Straight highways can get really boring after sometime.

Winding, twisty roads for me..

The thrill of going through winding, twisty roads is far ahead than that of straight line drag...

Winding roads. Straight line driving is rather boring. You should have seen the ghat roads we took while going to Mahabaleshwar.... beautiful!

Sam · 21st June 2004, 23:03

well like both but prefer the windy twisty roads on my elim! with it's fat rear tyre and amazing grip its really fun on twisty roads!
plus the fact that the ....... never mind!!

speedsatya · 21st June 2004, 23:35

it has to be winding roads,which is why i drive 580kms all the way from mumbai only to drive on the ankola road.
around mumbai its 5the mumbai goa rd,and the igatpuri-kasara ghat.

aadix · 21st June 2004, 23:47

no twisty roads for me in a car, dont like twisty roads on a car, plus my better half hates twisties or when i drive really fast

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!

killjoy · 22nd June 2004, 11:49

dont mind both, but straigt line - more to do with car and less driver skill and with bends - other way

Sam · 22nd June 2004, 13:18

Hey maybe i shud post a topic bout passengers and "better halfs" complaing about our driving. It makes me sometimes jus leave them at home. My remedy is playing the Black eyed peas song ... Shut Up!!

Winding, twisty roads has some extra thrill in it esp wen u drive alone. u go in decent 60 - 70 kmph on these roads gives u lot of plesure then the stright roads. we can have fun on stright road until we try n touch the max limits. after that we slowly loose the intrest, but in twists each and every twist which comes ahead brings in enormous energy to keep u *

thats it

I was just telling these guys on the way back from Panchgani, that 0 - 100's actually bore me. Theres nothing that quite comes close to late braking, catching the right line through a corner and being in the right gear/rpm while making constant corrections on the steering.

Boy, I cant wait for some GoodYear Eagle F1's in my Vtec
