Thanks! The car has a soul Over Axel Pipe and valve controller. The valves are open during this run even below 3500 rpm as a result. There are many videos with the stock exhaust on the channel too. We even have a video comparing the exhaust before and after the mod.

@@kevinw6282 thanks for watching - appreciate it!

Thanks for the comment and for the tip on pronouncing Suches correctly! Good to know.

The STi is shifting into 3rd more often and who doesn’t like to row the gears. I think the ratios are shorter on the new 911 ST - but maybe that doesn’t fall into the budget? Not in ours - that’s for sure.

Good question! Probably have some footage of that somewhere in the can. Will check it out and see how it looks. I wonder if the AWD would be a game changer?

@@luther_pm5746 thanks for the comment. We do have a sister channel with longer videos and less edits. Check out the channel page for a link. Not a ton of vids there yet - but there is some good stuff. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks - we have Midland rechargeable handhelds. Available on Amazon - two for around $80 or so if I recall. By the way - there are several of our earlier videos that feature the split screen. Glad you like it!

Favorite road in Maine?

@trueview3127 Ya, man, one that is somewhat local, rural, and scenic. Rt 117 out of Norway/Penneseewassee (yup) Lake to rt. 35 in Harrison/Long Lake to rt. 37 to rt. 118 East Waterford. West to rt.5 all the way to Fryburg and the New Hampshire border. Major back roads/twistys/straights and very few if any cops. A few townships and 35mph zones along the way, but man... you can stretch out and get some heel & toe along the way. Cheers, brothah.

@ thanks for the recommendations. Will add to our map!

Sounds like a great car! Appreciate the comment - shoot us an email at trueviewdriving@gmail.com to get on a mailing list for any future group drives we organize.

well the sport compact/hot hatch segment will always be compromised, but they still do a damn good job of keeping up and providing a fun driving experience. I've never driven a Porsche, but i own a '19 Type-R and anytime i think about moving on from it a Porsche is the only place i can think of going to get a "better" experience.

Thanks for watching and commenting! That’s really the idea here. At reasonable limits on a public road - many performance cars with good tires are very similar - Cheers.

Nailed it! Great road, great friends, good times.

seriously, i love this series. wish i could get off the grid in the north and join them. definitely helping me map future vacations though.

@@dasmg it’s always tough to get away for these trips, but so worth it. Glad you found our map and Google sheet listing all the roads with links to the videos! Cheers.

@joerade "With a side of manual." Love it, dude. Gonna get some "mileage" outta that one. Keep'er between the lines brothah! 🚘

@@trueview3127 one day i'll get the Type-R out there! thanks for keeping me and others inspired to get on these roads as well.

Sounds like a nice machine! Stay safe and see you out there!

Great time of year for a drive in those great roads! Nice link up!

Great flow and surprise - a patrol in Suches as per the usual!

It was a nice spirited follow up a great backroad. The low end torque from the Turbo on the STi really pulls!

It sure is a sweet melody - that’s for sure.

Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great holiday!

Definitely going to get there on time - just make sure to pack the food you bring along tightly!

Play some of that old time flat six rock n roll! Thanks for the comment

We have the Ozarks on our tick list but haven’t been yet. If you check out our map showing the roads we’ve driven and hope to drive - see channel page - let us know if we have your favorite roads out there marked?

Glad you checked those out! Cheers

Thanks for jumping aboard with us!

Looks like some great roads out there and eventually - life’s responsibilities willing - we will make it out. When we do - we will look you up. So - what roads did we miss out there? Any of your favs you didn’t see marked?

@trueview3127 There are quite a few! Unfortunately, many of them are fairly... Discovered. Nebo Loop is personally a favorite of mine.

Congratulations! That’s going to be a tough wait for sure! Enjoy the break in and relish it when you can release the full RPMs

True enough. Then turn around and run this one in the salvaged Lambo!

Highly recommend! Enjoy the track day

So glad to have you aboard! Thanks for the comment.

Glad that you've joined the Trueview crew! Plenty of tight and twisty stuff on the channel too - please enjoy our back videos and let me know which road is more your style? Definitely check out the VA-80 video if you like twisty roads. ruclips.net/video/FcWC1s3sQiE/видео.htmlsi=f7pP0f4SnuEqWem6

Truth be told, we've had to wait for gaps during our uphill runs (including when shooting this video) to get a clean run and agree there are no passing options at all. Its worth the wait if you can find a gap in traffic.

Thanks for the comment and analysis about what makes a road great for you. Agree that the frenetic pace of shifting on 129 keeps you super engaged! As for the Back of The Dragon - it is a much more raw experience, especially now that 129 has new pavement. Hoping that VA will pave 16 soon to smooth it out! A Blackwing on the BOD would almost fill the lane for a lot of it! Yikes.

Appreciate the compliment and glad you are enjoying the channel

Love the detail in your comment. Thanks for taking the time to tell your story. The story you tell about being the corner being just a bit tighter, and steeper, and more slippery than expected is probably what gets most people that go off - caught out. Doubt that many people are bombing through the TOD if they don't have experience with that sort of thing, but in some ways, it is the experience that can catch you out. We've had some close calls lately where the road was wet when we didn't expect it due to a rain storm on the other side of a mountain. The water had almost evaporated off the road. It looked like normal dry pavement, but it wasn't. Fortunately, no harm done . . . but lesson learned. The trick is to remember these lessons the next time you get a clean run and the road calls you to push forward that much harder. Stay safe out there!

Not to be missed - that’s for sure. Any others you enjoy that we need to consider for future missions?

Glad you found us! Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride. Favorite road down there for you?

Very cool comment. You will have to let us know which car works best on which road? That 235i is a rocked ship though I am sure. I bet it really loved the skyway and 348. Maybe less live for the dragon. By the way - sounds like your wife is a keeper for sure!👍

The M235iis really fast. In fact I stopped using the Dinan chip because it just wasn’t necessary much faster than my 981 and with very little turbo lag it really digs out off the line or anytime you need power. The 981 is more work but drives like a real sports car. Yes, she’s a keeper.

In this video - it had the Soul Valve Controller. In some of the later videos - I added the Soul resonated OAPs. The exhaust is stock PSE in this video- with the valves open full time thanks to the valve controller.

Sure is - the spring flowering trees were on full display near the high point on the ridge. Thanks for watching and commenting!

A few glimpses in the rear view! But there will be vids of every car in line on this or our sister channel soon! Look for those.

@@trueview3127 LOL Jon. It's me, just trolling you from FL.

Oh - I knew that - but you know the Red Cayman does offer some amazing moments. Just wish you had recorded the LEO encounter on the Dragon!

Have to see you there!

@ Also, I will have my gopro. Learning now. From your videos. Doing trial and error. Posting sh*tty stuff on my channel. Hopefully will get a tad more skillful by spring. 😂

It sure is a journey. This vid was shot in GP log with spot meters. Not sure I am a fan of the effort it takes to get it to look good - but very clear when you get it right.

Spring? RBR is good anytime it’s not wet or frozen!

@ I will not have time before spring.

A true first world issue - which direction I prefer to drive this road in a a Porsche - that said I fully agree that tackling the s curves on the way uphill is satisfying and perhaps a bit safer than bombing it downhill - but somebody has to do it.

Definitely most fun running west direction with tightest curves uphill.

Big screen with headphones for the full experience!

@@mangomaniac95 the user manual for the car recommends 2k miles. This is not consistent from country to country it seems. After seeing all the comments on this video - had I to do it over - I would have gone with the break in recommended on rennlist which I recall was 500 miles or so. Enjoy the car! Did you sleep last night?

@@RoyRathbun-m1b the car has a Porsche Sport Exhaust with the Soul Resonated OAP and valve controller.

Had the same thought about the bike being a better choice on the high ridge section! We can’t wait to reach further either!

Thanks for the comment! On some of the hairpins we come across, you'll want to shift into 1st to help the car dig out of the corner. However - with all the low end torque (as you point out) - it really isn't needed - and I doubt its faster when compared to not shifting. That said - it was / is pretty fun. Thanks again for the comment!

@@trueview3127 Ah good point. I look forward to testing mine out. I am in the west in Arizona so we don’t get these beautiful fall colors. Looking forward to watching (and listening) to future videos!

Thanks! Excited for you to pick up the new ride!! You'll have a great time getting to know what she can do. 2nd is good to a bit over 80 mph and 3rd to almost 110 mph. So, 4th gear isn't needed very often on the street - unless you short shift - which you should until you've got it broken in. Cheers.
