Tom's MR2 was no slouch either with that YZZ2 Celica engine in it. He made ever Pcar driver present work very very hard to keep up, didn't he?
I loved my car before this trip, but I must say that I am more impressed with it than ever. I actually tried to get the back end to break loose on wet pavement, but with 10 inch wide rims, Michelins and the 7mm spacers, the car just flat refused it.
I did experience some oversteer once when I just drove it too hard trying to outpace everyone behind me. I can easily see how a much younger driver with less cautionary common sense could kill himself on that road.
... and you'd never catch me on a bike on that road. I'd kill myself in a heartbeat.

Tom's MR2 was freakin' fast! If he had the wheels and tires I'm pretty sure he would've stayed with us if not smoked us...
