ARphotographs Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Well jay and i are doing the usual and arguing about whats more fun, so we thought to post it up here. so what do you prefer, Twisties to test you cars handling and your capabilities as a driver, or straights, to test how fast your car can go? my vote is for twisties, as straights bore the complete hell out of me.

Andy Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Twisties without a doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My point is that you need a good mixture to really test the car out. I like a long open straight leading me into some nice twisties, then it opens out again. If its either one or the other i feel its boring, So the poll should be ammended to OR A MIXTURE. Lets face it if ur just twisting all day at fairly low speeds, it aint much fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Mixture for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 A mix.... although you can shove motorways and dual carriageways where the sun don't shine! A quick bit of road with curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 A mixture of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I like a mixture of proper twisties and more open bends and some nice strights thrown in. I think they call it a race track What are you asking though, whats more fun or whats best to test a car? As Jay seems to be talking about testing a car but the original post is about whats more fun. Twisties are the most fun bit, but you need a mix to keep it interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyzed Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I love a good cloverleaf when getting on or off a freeway. Love to push the limits of adhesion. Also love the straightaway when entering a freeway......... I love hearing my Z at WOT. All of this is dependent upon one thing..........it never fails I get behind a truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he needs his brown trousers on A good flowing road with some gradient - the A832 between Achnasheen and Kinlochewe for example - as the 2008 Hooners who stayed with the pack will recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Definitely a combination. Especially with demanding Kiwi roads, especially in the backblocks. Often narrow, very windy, tight, interesting road surface with out volcanic soft soil, fun, but then a bit of straight is a nice reprieve.

Ekona Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Any idiot can drive in a straight line. I'd much rather be doing 30-60mph on windy roads than 140mph on a boring piece of road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
