Mountain/Canyon Run....YES!!!!

I was thinking bout some good spots to really run and drive my car. I decided to check out the canyon sized mountain that i've been living next to for 10 years!!! So i drove up there, and it is the perfect spot! There is very very small amount of traffic, and if i go at the crack of dawn, there's virtually none. Lemme just tell you with all the twists and turns this mountain is pretty damn fun. Newayz, running uphill was cool, i didn't go too fast but the downhill part was just downright exhilirating. Let me tell you there's nothing like losing complete control and then panicking to regain it all back (a.k.a amateur drifting) on a freaking mountain!! haha, but any turn that i even attempted to drift was very very wide. Most of the time i was just runnin that 240 as hard as i could and lemme just say that this car handles, RWD owns.

Question. While i was going downhill, my speeds were around 45-65. I kept the gears around 2nd and 3rd, is this how i should be doing it? alotta times i wanted to go into 4th, but figured it better to stay in 3rd because of the downhill and oncoming turns. As for the car, it only has an Injen intake (came with it when i bought it) an aftermarket exhaust(Sebring), and aftermarket suspension, it's lowered a bit. Would be pleased to take any tips or advice...

next upgrade: bucket seats
