back roads?

[fairladyZ]

who hear is a fan of backroadin i live near pa so 82 in pa is deff one of my fav... wheres the good roads at in jersey?

[gary]

PA has some great roads... 82 is a bit far from me but I can spend hours not going more than 10 miles straight line from my house. The problem is when it starts getting dark and you want to go home, you have no clue where you are. =) And the backroad bugs kill at night.

lol yeh man i took ma car out the other day and was only gonna take a lil drive, i ended up goin crazy on those roads in pa for 2 hours until it got dark and had to find my way home and ended up bein out there for like 5 hours... the deer suk 2

[gary]

Yea I know how that is. One boring day I found myself in NY state. I bought a map, got myself home and that map stays in my car at all times now. Stupid $15 map!

[fairladyZ]

I was just about to mention “Pocket Rocket’s” run in Route 125 starting in Shamokin PA. That’s perhaps the best road I’ve ever been on! No $#!t. Dramatic elevation changes as the road twists down the mountain. It’s a little ways away, however, I drove all the way up there to jump on that road (twice )

All-wheel-drive rally cars own all on that road.

Kelly and West River Drive are the G.O.A.T.

I have an Accord also. I drove the route in the Evo the first time... no sweat. The Evo fit like a glove. The second time I took the Accord… what a big mistake. I was physically and mentally exhausted after taking that road in the Accord... it was hell. You definitely need a car that has a good suspension set-up, good tires, good brakes, supportive seats (I was using a great deal of energy to hold my body in place because of the constant elevation changes, dips, jarring bumps, and hard braking,) good steering wheel (a thicker better griping wheel would’ve helped… hands were getting sweaty and tired,) etc, etc. If you like challenging roads that was definitely one of them. Your 350Z will do fine.

If you’re ever in the area, I’m sure you’ll find out.

yo 9 ball whats the address for this road I can't find it on mapquest me and my friend are very interseted in this road. I don't care if I have to drive an hour and a half or more this road looks like its worth it...

[fairladyZ]

thnks for the heads up 9ball, yeh id say my suspension will b a way bigger improvement from my old car, i went from a 04 sebring lxi with a few srt4 parts on it and was pushin about 245 hp but the body roll in that was a bitch, itll b a while till i get the susp. for the z cuz the car itself is expensive and o are the parts im selecting
