No worries mate! If everyone just always agreed with each other this forum would get pretty boring.

Seriously though, thanks for staying on this and the knowledge I gained from your persistence. Very glad you didn't give up on it.

I took the I-80 route to Denver last month. That's a lot of flat nothing for a long time.
It makes I-70 look like gold.

On the plus side, I think I saw all of 2 officers both ways (not that I speed ).

You know how KC is, there are a lot of straight stretches, but they are not flat, so you can't chance it as a cop could be right over the hill.

I have one spot I let her go for all she can get. Going north by the downtown air port, 2 lanes one direction with concrete barriers on both sides. Check for police sitting in the grass at the on ramp right before the straightaway, no traffic in front of me and I let her rip. I get to up to 132 in that little stretch. Can't wait to see what I can get with the new intake system. Car is pulling so much harder now.

As soon as I saw "downtown airport" I knew the spot
The one running parallel to the railroad tracks, correct? Those barriers make it really intense!
That's the route I take to and from the museums/Union Station.

There is a new curvy road here in my town that cuts through some gentle hills/woods between two main roads that has guard rails almost the whole way... Not as good as a one-way with barriers but as good as we get here.... my spoiler is definitely raised the whole way (spoiler tie-in )

That sounds like fun! About like my favorite twisties I run through here, but no guardrails.
