thank coldrsx, will have to try queen eliz hill and elk island. have done the others and they are fun but too short! havent been to stratotech in years, but a friend of mine raced his crotch rocket there and i used to help him out- was a fantastic track and im sure it still is. would be perfect for the s, thats for sure.

There is a short, 6km stretch of road waaaay out past the Shell Scotford upgrader or whatever it's called that is very excellent. Like a tarmac rally stage. A bit bumpy. If I remember right, it's near a rural residential area. Now if I could just find it again on google maps...it's probably about 50km from the city.

If you're looking to buy one give me a shout. I'm pretty sure mine will be for sale soon. 2006 with a few minor mods

taking a stock v6 6mt to the track would be tough. would need track tires and brake pads. no lsd so she spins that inside tire like mad on street tires. on the other hand, i do have room for 4 passengers... maybe i can be the pace car. lol.
