Default Angeles Crest Joy Ride

I finally got to open up my 2016 GTS on Angeles Crest yesterday. What a treat. The car is remarkably planted on even the sharpest of curves. The sound of the PSE reverberating off the mountains and through the tunnels was incredible. I topped out at about 118 mph on a straightaway. The car was not even slightly fatigued by the 3 hour workout in the mountains. My professional photographer friend (who shoots for Guess - lucky bastard) took this picture during the journey. As I have said in prior posts, I am blown away with the durability of this car - it can be a quiet and comfortable daily driver but with the push of a button or two, she's a beast of a race car. Kudos to Porsche for building such an outstanding car and thank goodness that I purchased a naturally aspirated GTS before it was too late!

I was up on Angeles Crest this afternoon. Lots of chip seal rocks. Did you get any chips in your paint?
