I think the story is all there - there are five parts. The second part is a very skippable Infinity G37 review. When I read they were doing twisties in subfreezing weather and summer tires, I was thinking that's not good at all. Sure enough, a few paragraphs later the car had left the road.

Gear only goes so far, driver skill plays a bigger part. If you suck at driving a Honda civic you’ll suck at driving a Ferrari.
Otherwise I love this thread. I did 6500 miles in 16 days in mine and loved every minute of it (camping most and motels for less than 1/3 of it). We’re planning on doing it again in a year or so.

Yeah, I made the Deals Gap Rotary Rally last week and had a blast. 1750 miles in total. One thing about the corners down there, many, if not most, were of a changing radius and quite a few had in-turn camber that tilted the wrong way while the road was still bending. Both combine to make perfectly sane speeds on the entrance quite iffy towards the exit. One big advantage of having the event early is that the trees aren't fully leafed in, which allowed much more visibility in tight bends that would not be there later in the year. My stock suspension and old RE-40s did just fine, though of course, could be improved upon. Every car has limits that are best respected.
