Germantown Rd in Portland Area is amazing, rocky point rd, skyline drive. All good corner roads. I wouldnt test much cornering limits on a major interstate such as 26 or 217.

Yet for some reason, people who have actually BEEN here, just keep coming right back...even from the far reaches of the country and other countries. Hardly anyone who has actually BEEN here says it's over rated.
Man what is with all of the hating...is it a NW thing or what?
But yeah, all of our surrouding roads suck too.

i have been there, 3 times.
it is a great road. but we have hundreds of em, and you have 1. that is the point i am making.
and there are some great meets there, like 200+ cars. that is why it is over rated

alos what kind springs are on your car??I'm running JIC FLT-A2 coilovers (mods listed in my registry, which is in my sig
) but I'm planning to switch to some electronically adjustable coilovers this year. The Gap is so smooth, but my drive back home is not so smooth, so I'd like to be able to easily switch between soft and hard settings quickly.

help me out here, will ya? exactly what size are all the tires compared above?
i thought the 235 width 615's weren't out yet...? the 235/45/17's at least...
a ~1.25" difference per tire makes sense if comparing 245's to 235's. not really otherwise.
