Wow. Colorodo... is amazing! I just started my new job at Les Schwab in Monroe so after a few months I will have my car drivable again. All I need is a couple tires for the rear, the threads are showing and the alignment is bad so it feels sloppy whenever I'm over 50. I have been hittin the touge for 6 years now but not much seat time. I have a video of my first time... I was very angry when I went for this drive and crashed lol and bone stock... lession learned.

Well here I had bald tires. Just got the car, didn't get to know it that well. I got DTSS eliminators and a bunch of other suspension work done. Including a roll bar (if your a vert that is an absolute MUST when riding with top down.) I used to hit this road all the time but I stopped ever sence I decided to keep it off public roads. But yeah first thing first, learn your car. Spin it out on a closed road a couple times and learn your limits.

I'm guessing a rollbar is necessary to increase rigidity and decrease body roll since without a hardtop the rigidity of the car is compromised, could be wrong though.

Rigitiy....ha.
Hurleysurf had a thread on here a few years ago that illustrated the REAL reason why you need a roll bar when doing spirited driving in a vert.

Best way, is to stiffin the chassis so you have less body roll. So the snap will be less severe, and practice drifting (even if you're anti-drifter) cuz it will teach you how to react in this exact situation over and over. Practice builds experience, experience prevents a little snap over steer, from totally wrecking your car.

yeah when I used to live in Williamsport, PA there was this pretty good road out there that was about 15 miles each way, had a few switch backs and hairpins in it, it was called skyline drive or something like that, I used to take my speed6 up there all the time, but it's probably a little too snowy for that this time of year.
