Fiesta st vs 5.0 in the mountains!
My brother and I decided to battle it out in the mountains. Race begins where the road begins with two lanes. Was a gd time hopefully we have more next time. This was a uphill battle so he had the power advantage.

That particular battle was on hwy 259 in Oklahoma on our way to Talimena Drive. This is just one section of road. There is alot better with even more curves on Talimena and 144. Scenery was beautiful and in the 3rd pic you can tell we are pretty high up.
I will upload the other vids from the other parts of the drive.

If you like that kind of driving, take Talimena east into Arkansas to Scenic Highway 7. Hit it in the Autumn and it'll be one amazing trip.

It's a drive I will tell you. You should go when we go again. It's fun in a group.

Cat and mouse rules. If the mouse gets away the mouse wins. If mouse can't get away the race is repeated with the other car in front. This is the second vid of the trip. This is on the Arkansas side of the talimena dr.

Looks to be about a 4-4.5 drive for me, but that would be a fun weekend trip to take. Pack up some camping gear and stay overnight in one of the parks, then rip through the roads in the early morning hours when there [hopefully] isn't a lot of people out. Would be a great early spring or fall trip.
