I went today with a friend.....my 240 is mostly stock except springs, f/r strut bars, stainless steel brake lines, cross drilled rotors and new semi metallic pads.

even with crappy stock sized B rated tires It held pretty good at around 55-70mph speeds.....slowing for turns of course to around 40ish, some slower for the hairpins.

anyway its a little footage and its a bad cam but its something

THATS the road everyone has been busting nuts over?jesus drive to WV, take just about any well paved 2 lane off the interstate. I could drive on roads like all day and never redrive the same mile back home.

Its a widely known road....mostly for bikers though....but lots and lots of car people come from all over the country to drive it..... its 318 turns in 11 miles. There was a huge WRX meet up there today and many plates came from as far as florida, virginia, mississippi, etc.

Next time go faster. I always fly through that when I go through. I mean, turns are good, but fast turns are even better.

WV roads will do one of two things to you, 1) Kill you.... 2) Kill your suspension/tires/wheels/liver.....

I think its mostly just the camera itself.
