Are there any windy roads around here. I would like to take a trip and see what my suspension can do. Sounds gay, but I didn't spend all this money on suspesion and not use it. BTW this is not some where can i drift question? More like taking the fam out for a cool drive.

.... dude look on ma240 theres a whole 4 page thread about this

 

too bad not here in US but ive experienced one overseas in CRETE, GREECE...

 

How about Auto-x to test out that suspension? Then you can push as hard as you want without worrying about driving off a cliff.

 

I've always been wanting to know some but have been too afraid to make a thread about it, lol.

*signs up on ma240 even though I don't drive one* haha.

 

Take your car to a track day and learn how badly you suck as a driver, and how capable even a stock car is before you kill yourself or your family. Do an Autocross even you, and you will see how slow you really are.

Here is a link to NASA's HPDE page:

This is a link to one of the best Autocross sites in the country right here in Tidewater:

deal's gap

 

Best advice that anyone could possibly give.

 

Definatally if you want to race then take it to the track... but there is such a thing as driving for enjoyment for some people
maybe he just want to go on a cool road trip?? maybe not??

 

First thing NO ONE goes to the track and just races!!!!! HPDE events are not racing; it is a driving class. Autocross yes, a real road course no. When the origional poster said that they wanted to test their suspension on a public road, red flags go up! WRONG ANSWER. Spirited driving of a few MPH over a speed limit could be OK on a clear day with no rain or other unfavorable conditions. But, it is in no way cool to find the limits of any suspension, stock or not stock on a public road. I will tell anyone on this forum unless they have done a few driving schools (and I dont mean traffic schools) that they truely suck as a driver, 99% of the people on this forums cars can handel more that they can. These things are facts and thats why we are not all in F1 right now.

When you go out on a public road and try to push things to the limit, you put not only your life on the line the passengers in your cars lives on the line but everyone else traveling that road that days lives could be effected by your stupid lack in judgment.

Again spirited driving (with in reason) given the right conditions can be a good time. But any car in a stock form can do that. Trying to find the limits of your car will more than likely put you past your limits and then you have a problem.
