How interesting.. I too had an 84 GTI (Black/red)... my recklessness with that car lead to my (thank God) my only accident at age 20... that was about 15 years ago. This was in Hillsborough, CA a similar type road to where these guys are driving.. except it was RESIDENTIAL! I smashed into a mailbox (made of brick).. it could have easily been another car or person.. that was a "growing experience" for me. With in three months I was in the Army heading to the Persian Gulf!

Your point in well taken. I respect your method of response and reply in kind. I don't appreciate others who tell me I am a stupid clown (top 50 University educated, thanks). Grow up and enjoy it, why not by a Camry like everyone else. It is enjoyable to explore the capabilities of finely tuned German cars, if people cannot appreciate that, too bad. We just wanted share our experiences with the community and we get people raining on our parade.

I think their message is sound, but their method of delivery is a bit crass I admit. We are all guilty of that around here from time to time.

You are exploring the capabilites of fine German cars? Sure you are, at the expense of innocent unsuspecting drivers. You are educated? So what? Tha's about the most stupid response I've ever heard. You are not a clown, you are an ***-clown.

Call me what you will, though I must give you one important bit of information. The road in the video goes to an unicorporated area of Ventura County and has zero residences, businesses, schools, or any major cross streets. At the time of night, any motorist on that road would be very rare. That being said, in order to "expense" an innocent motorist would be to become involved in an accident with one. Since we can see the headlights well in advance from any other vehicle, we do slow our speed to "reasonable" levels while they pass. Since I, too, have a family I need to return home to.

Yes, he is educated, and he doesn't type ***-CLOWN on the internet. I, who did not attend a top 50 school, just did type that just like you did.

Another thing, the W210 E320 is one of the best JDM style drift cars on the planet! I had a W210 for a week and that vehicle was a big hit in my book. So, maybe you could try doing some drifts for the camera and posting them. We would all be very much obliged.

Drop the name calling.

perhaps it's good to get these things out of your system while you're young - i'd rather have a young driver with all his faculties working, driving at full speed, than a much older (no offence ) guy having delusions of youth pummelling his porsche around the twisties.

hey, in any case, you guys didn't go THAT fast jk jk hahaha

Well, whatever your education, it did not provide you with common sense or respect for other people on the road. Hopefully, you'll get caught and appropriately fined, imprisoned or your licence revoked and that'll be another 'boy racer' off the roads.

barw211e320

So how about we "compromise." Since I have no "common sense" nor do I "respect" others on the road, maybe I should do the following to "compromise" and look at the "alternative". Let's have a look, shall we .

1. I will drive during the day when there is more traffic, and oncoming headlights cannot be seen to alert me to slow my pace. (This makes more sense than the current situation does it not?)

2. I will drift all lanes to endanger the whole road, and not just me. (This makes more sense than the current situation does it not?)

3. I will drive on a major road that has cross traffic and goes to an actual place thereby increasing my chances of smashing into someone or something. (This makes more sense than the current situation does it not?)

4. I will drive a rice rocket so if I do hit something I will die more quickly and reduce the chances of hurting the SUVs out there. (This makes more sense than the current situation does it not?)

5. I will get a group of rice rockets together and drive so we can all play bumper tag, too! (This makes more sense than the current situation does it not?)

6. I will not maintain my vehicle and pollute my body so I can be sure to break something and crash, or crash while high. (This makes more sense than the current situation does it not?)

So in conclusion, is the current situation really as bad as it first appeared to be?

schwarzwagen

Yes. There are two classes of Porsche guys. The ones in PCA and the others with their GT2 moving chicanes.

It's good to get our bitterness out now. In the future, there will be more videos, perhaps then you will be silent so that others, who enjoy the fun, can.

schwarzwagen

That's funny. I drive 65mph on the freeway and conservatively around town. I haven't gotten a ticket in years and even then it was for an illegal U-turn (that was unmarked). So we go out late at night once and a while for fun, now we are baby killers who should be strung up from the highest tree! Right!

I was wondering if you could post the music playlist, you know artist and song title. I liked the music the most. Thanks

barw211e320

I will call my buddy that did the editing and find that out and post it.

MBE55AMG

I agree. Went well with the video.

Nice one.

Ashkan's C43

kick *** video... very funny intro and nicely done in all regards, I really liked it, kudos

DarkStar

Darwin?

taroliw

BTW... who's spanking what??

Being as I personally enjoy spirited driving, I'd hardly be the one to preach speed limits, etc. But if you can't hold a lane on a blind curve of an uncontrolled road, you really are asking for trouble... and you may not get a second chance, good as the safety systems of the Mercedes may be.

That said, how the heck did you smoke your brakes???

schwarzwagen

Ok, mr. ebonics man Stevo , your post leaves me wondering whether I/we should challenge your "cycle fury" or just laugh at you. I choose the latter.

CynCarvin32

HA should have seen last night. SRX Cadillac loaner car and the brakes were glowing like a neon sign and ON FIRE. It was great. That SRX is actually a FANTASTIC car. You would never guess it but it honestly is a wonderful car that drives far better than we ever dreamed. Something I would honestly look at getting if/when i needed a jacked up station wagon.

CynCarvin32

\No one is scared of you and your empty threats. Wow u have a bike want a freaking cookie? You are the fool ... driving around with an ego on a bike? Good luck you will need it! I love nothing more than an empty internet threat. Kind of empowering to be all big and bad behind that keyboard huh? Feeling better now? Good glad that help you out.

As for your BS about it being dads car ... funny its his... all 800 a month. But you are to busy being bitter to realize that.

And for someone trying to be eloquent you sure sound like a redneck trying to be a thug. So which are ya?

Canyons do not say bikes only... so share the road. Nothing better than 200 bikers trying to chase a car. I can see it now... im sure you have seen a pack of bikes in the tour de france when a lead bike falls? Well I would love to see that happen if you tried to take chase. Who would be the fool then?

barw211e320

Where to start? First I will start from the beginning. "Romp and Stomp?" I am unsure as to why you refer to my driving as such, however I assure you if you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't have a poser set of 19"s on an E320 WITHOUT AirMatic. You also would have a poser set of 19"s period. Since we all know that the 19" wheel on a W211 does not yield and better performance in the area of increase grip, and or actual cornering G's.

Oh, and if you had to look up "Savant" in a dictionary, you must not have done your vocabulary lessons in highschool, or maybe you never graduated highschool.

In addition, I have been through and am familiar with Wednesday nights, and there is no rider that would have the wish of death to corner at high enough speeds in those canyons to keep up with any stable four wheeled vehicle. Shall I film myself smoking crotchies also?

I cannot deny that canyon driving is not dangerous, nor have I attempted to. I also cannot deny the fact that the Z4 is a "gay" car. I do love the Z4, "gay" or not, because it is quick, grips very well, and is impeccably balanced. Not to mention the big discounts offered on them.

So, why don't you bring the E you have by so we can see which of us doesn't know how to drive? Not in the canyons, but the big track at Willow?

Lastly, that E is mine, do you really think any kid would do that to his parent's vehicle knowing full well they will easily spot the blue brake rotors and worn sidewalls? I know if I had a kid I would get him his own car to drive at the track and through the canyons in.

barw211e320

The brakes on the E320 are a little on the small side, and unfortunately cannot handle the heat they are given. So they smoke, the rotors glow, and then the pads catch on fire. I haven't had them catch fire in the E500, but they will also smoke and glow in that vehicle.

Also, I wouldn't take a line I can't hold, and though the corners are blind, it is at night. So I easily see oncoming headlights.

Oh, and the Z4 will eat the E320 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but for this purpose it was the only thing that could handle well enough to film from behind, though I am giving the Z4 a good workout.

C43AMG

Based upon how often and hard you rode the brakes I would disagree.You can see the landscape and turns much easier during the day.You just validiated your inexperience as a driver to this entire forum.

Stevo

An ego? Who's got the ego. I'm simply pointing out the fact that these two guys are complete morons...hands down. There's absolutely no argument about it. Empty threats?
