These runs are not for the light hearted cruiser, if you're not going to push the limits, It's not for you. But everyone with some experience is welcomed, my z came back looking like I just drove across the country. She's all washed and resting now.

What temperatures did you hit? How long would you guys say the drive was?

max i hit i would say 240 but it didnt stay on that too long
i would say most of the drive i was 220-230 switching between 3rd and 4th gear

drive theru the canyons was maybe about 3 hrs or so with some smoke breaks in between lol

if i remember correctly trips said he hit 190 with his oil cooler(dunno what gear) and andy said he hit 220 with an oil cooler riding on 3rd most of the time

that's pretty surprising, I do 2 minutes of spirited driving on some twisty roads between 2nd and 3rd around here and my oil temp is at 230 in a blink of an eye. So I was thinking a 3hr canyon run it should be at 250-260 easy but I guess not? Maybe I'll just give it a try with you guys next time. :ugh2:

Dude i just came across this. When are ya'll goin again? I wanna roll!!!! i'm gonna have to really use higher gears since i can make my car hit limp mode quickly if i really wanted to have some fun.

Hmm missed another one. Was out of town for a few weeks....actually wanted to do a run before I left, but didn't have time.

BTW, I feel I keep a good pace through the canyons, but am definitely not at 90%....definitely not slow either though.

Oh and should start a new thread next time, might attract a few more people.

hubbleTD19 09-08-2010 04:27 AM

hey. im looking to join the next run. any ideas when it'll be? or if anyone wants to do a small run sometime. just as a warm-up, maybe get a little practice before getting behind in a 3hr run.

Hey Marco :hello: Nice to see you again.

I'm working sat's for now and sundays my rest day so I'll be out for a while and I'm running on pretty bald tires on the rears.

Hopefully I'll get some new threads soon and will get together with who ever else is interested
