Glendale Mountain Ridge. It's one of the more "enthusiastic" mountain passes in Southern California. Too bad it's littered with cops.

35 max on the dragon really? I was ticketed @ 80 in my S2000, and the WRX should be pretty close to that.

There are some twisty roads here in Central Texas... we're right on the edge of what is called the 'Hill Country'... and it's called that for a GOOD reason! On the west side of Austin, RM2222 is hella fun to go down, but it's kinda short... when you get to the bottom, you think 'was that all?'

Southwest of Austin, we (other Porsche owners) go out on occasional runs on some twisty roads down there, and it's a blast!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing how well the Fit handles. I hear it's phenominal!

I can't say I've driven on the Dragon but I've heard of it (from s2ki.com meets). I don't know how fast I could go but yeah, I don't think 80 would be a problem.

Oh snap. 80? Good job, buddy.

You must have a super S2000 and be a super awesome driver.
