Got some bad *** pictures and videos yesterday. Its called Lookout Mountain here in Colorado, and in the first vid, u can kinda get an idea of what the rest of the 4 miles of the mountain is like. U can see denver almost 150 miles away if u are at the top.

Camera guy was my buddy with the Grand Prix GT (not GTP, and yes, its serious, lol)



And then for the fun



And the vids

With a 600ft drop off on the other side of the guard rail, yes

The drift was both on purpose, and accidental. Back end came around so I just went with it

Ya im also pretty new to the 240 crowd, so have patience with me lol

I used to have a GTP like my friends...so ive come a ways outta my regular league.

Most the 240 guys here in denver, and all the awd pirates go up the mountain to do exactly that, drift, or hug the corners.

haha alright..

But yeah i think it was a good idea to ditch the GTP, I never like FWD and AUTO in the first place.

But yeah man, Next time your there and you going up the hill like that, Clutch kick it right before you c*** the wheel and it should carry you right on through the turn with minimal wheel movement, it will look pretty sick, only if you have an LSD on your car..

Do you?

lsd and e-brake knob, you'll have tons of fun with that combo. But be careful, it's soo easy to lose control and jack your car up.

I've been very lucky drifting and gripping through the canyons so I've chilled out a bit, it's not worth losing my kouki I dropped 5,000+ bux and hours of work into....too many close calls
