We were in L.A. too last weekend. Should have done a Hook-Up :wink:

 

Well...now that Blaze has had the appropriate amount of break in miles she got to strut her stuff a little recently on an old piece of Route 66 between Victorville and Fontana....145 was the top....then a good solid push on the big pedal...and a 45mph bend.....and a smile almost as big as at the hook-up :-)
She also got to do what I love even more....the Mt Baldy run and then over to Glendale......if this road was a one way....I would be in heaven. Nothing but turns....lefts rights, climbs descents, on and off camber and a spectacular view....for those quick smoke breaks ;-)

I have noticed however that it is almost impossible to stay below 90 in this wonderful driving machine......oh boy. Sure hope my early warning system works ;-)

 

135 or so at 5:30 am on a Saturday morning.

Next time I'll try for 150

 

140 +/- 3 MPH -- I-696 "Michigan Autobahn" 2 miles with no on-ramps nor off-ramps, with walls on both sides. XFire handles phenomenally well, very stable and sharp too.
