Traveling the PCH

[Dorn Hetzel]

I bought my F350 in Denver in 1998, and it's "break-in cruise" was a trip up Pikes Peak with the turbo singing the whole way.

I had done it previously in a little rental car in 1983, and would never do it without a turbo again. Normally aspirated engines just don't suck nearly enough for Pikes Peak


That being said, if my FC35 had a turbo, I'd take it up there... It's only 13 feet longer than my F350

How does Ca highway 1 compare to the road up to Pikes Peak? I was a

passenger in a pickup and really glad I wasn't driving (scared to

death)? I had a friend who drove his brother in laws SUV on Ca 1 and

he said he was pretty uneasy in that. He had never been to Pikes

Peak so I wander how the two compare? I don't think you could get a

BB up Pikes Peak, I know my ole girl wouldn't do it. I have not been

to Ca yet but it's a goal and hopefully soon.
