THESE are the roads the CRZ was made for!

2nd gear over 4000rpm from beginning to end. Who said a <130hp hybrid can't be fun?

(sorry for bad quality but it was filmed with mobile phone)

Agreed - Great contribution - thanks for sharing - Couple of - eh - what appeared to be scary moments with the sun glaring on the "Dirty Windshield" on a one lane road..

Not deer - but motorcycles...

Couldn't see the expressions on the motorcyclist faces - but bet you got their heart rates up a bit..

Still good stuff - still - be careful out there...

don't worry: sun is blinding only on video and the motorcycles weren't sudden surprises

Probably it's becouse of mobile camera orientation, but I can assure you that the road was large enough to let the bikers pass by without any worry

Nice! Thank you for sharing. I've always felt that Europeans were better drivers than those in the U.S., so either you are baring this out, or you have some track experience. You taking some nice lines through several of those curves! I've been in Italy (Rome, Milan, and Florence), but to the outskirts and never driven there. Many thanks!

never ever been on a race track, but I usually drive for 2000+ km every month becouse of my job (and where I live, during fall/winter we have a lot of fog and snow) so I believe I have a certain experience

...Man, that was a cool vid. I agree the view was awesome and when you came close to those other cars, I even shifted a little in my chair.lol.
