A roller coaster of a corner!

Yes! You approach at >100 mph uphill seeing only sky. Brake before the car gets light cresting the hill, turn in, and down you go! But T5 is a high speed banked left-hander, and great fun to push your car to the edge of traction. But no famous name.

The sound booth is there just passed the apex! I like T5 (Crashed both of my Ducati 999r and 1199r there on the same day )

The technical Porsche name for the color is 'Dark Blue Metallic' (It's pretty close to BMW's Carbon Black)

I like that color. My X5M was CBM.

Sadly, I only did baselines on a Mustang dyno, so they showed up pretty low.

For a bunch of reasons, we're in a situation where bugging out with the family, while unlikely, is still a possibility. Of course I want the option of taking my favorite car with the family in it. Yakima Loadwarrior w/extension. I was given the basket, and it turned out to be too short for the 991 crossbars, hence the extension.

Hopefully you won't need to bug out, and if you're lucky, the load rating on the rack should be high enough to hold two children...
