took my car to run on local canyon roads on saturday...

finally got a new pic of the car. went to local mountain for a drive with couple friends and had a friend took the pic. the car handled decently but still understeer and the ES100 wasn't helping much either. It was Turnbull Canyon if anyone from SoCal's wondering. the M3 couldn't pull away and I couldn't catch him. We had 1 car length between us all the time on the first run. With more pratice he would probably own me w/ his M3.

here's the pics

thanks for the comments guys.

the Mitsu is a EVO8 w/ arc intake, purge valve, rear cf torsion bar and exhaust.

the RL was actually the lead car since most of us don't know how to get to that canyon road, but it had a head start on us so that it doesn't block us. I was following the M3 on the runs. The C32 doesn't react as well as the M3, but I was on his tail all the way since it was his first time on these kind of road. My tires just wasn't gripping enough over the some lose gravel on the road. The EVO would've been fast but he was stuck behind the Z.

this is the road we drove: Turnbull Canyon
