Yep for sure...I think back to that moment...while the highway was fairly quiet that afternoon with little traffic, it was amazing we didn't get caught, hurt ourselves or hurt somebody else....we just got caught up in the moment and the Crossfire handled the speed with amazing confidence. We have not been anywhere near that speed before or after since......

I have 11 days to finish prepping the car... might have to call in sick a few days to get done, but such are the sacrifices we make, when we have our priorities right.
Re: 6th Annual Fall 2012 - Tail of the Dragon GTG - October 5, 6, 7
LMAO...just got home from the Chicago gtg. Great to see everone there. Kind of a primer for the Dragon...but, I hope the weather is better. Traffic sucked, The weather cleared up, but you know they call it the windy city for reason and it was windy. My niece is headed to Japan for a year, so I had to bug out early to make the tailend of her going away party. Didn't get to go downtown...but fun in all and met a few new people... So, now we are ready for the Dragon...and more XF's lined up in row...
I about forgot...I can add paddle shifters to the roadster's list of mods... Just wish I had longer fingers...lol
