I've always wanted to do that, maybe next time I'm in Nevada or Montana I'll try it. It's frustrating to have a car that goes so fast and not get a chance to drive it like that. What were the circumstances? The video makes it look like you're on a country road. Weren't you guys worried about finding someone else on the road?

(I'm not saying it was smart to do that, but I have to admire your "cojones".)

im closer to you than think (Iceland here) and its Opel here, (and Saturn in U.S.A. to correct you) and yea my friend Astra its stage 3, so beats the E500 easy

the road was outside the city, little bumpy one and you drive basicly up and down, nobody uses it, and yeah its not the smartest think to do after you do it

p.s. im driving both cars, the E500 flat out was shot in a day, and Astra was shot in night, im the only one whit "cojones" in group you can say that
