I think I will have to take a pass. My SVT is going into storage for the winter this year and I don't think my Isuzu with tired struts could keep up with you guys.
102 lb-ft of torque whoa!!! I'd officially be a moving roadblock.

Moving roadblock...that's hilarious! Sounds like something I remember from Monty Python! I don't think it will be snowing by the end of this month, but I understand you wanting to take care of your car. Some of the Navy weather guys I know at Whidbey Island say it probably won't snow much this year until late November. That said I hope more of us can meet on the 26th! My car should be completely broken in by then. Can't wait guys! Lance, Darren, Ken, Robert...you in?

I hope some people want to do this because I would love to see first hand what some of you have done with your 'tours and 'styques. Not to mention the driving...oh, how I love to drive.

You guys just wait...Lance'll bring the Subie just in case it snows (we ARE talking about a mountain pass here, thru the Cascades, no less!) and he'll have the last laugh.
I must say, it's a frikkin amazing drive. Perhaps better going west, but on either end of the run (near Sedro-Wooley and near Winthrop) the mountain passes are really steep. I'd say more so than even the Rockies near Jasper, Alberta.
Lots of passing lanes to get around RVs, unlike here in Canada where we all have to obdiently follow the seniors in their RVs towing their Saturns behind them.

This sounds like a blast!
Unfortunately, I am supposed to be having a costume party at my house on the 26th.
My S-03s don't like ice or snow, but rain is no obstacle. If you wanna run later, I may be game.
Have fun on the 26th!
