As for the tunnel (think Port Authority upper public parking lot entrance), it's hit and miss, but if you time it right you can whip down and scream through the tunnel (again 2nd & 3rd gears to keep the motor revs up, but the speeds down).........When you get out on the Jersey side, you need to be careful until you get to the start of the corkscrew headed up and to the left, you can then use your own common sense till you almost hit the NJ Turnpike.

1: Need to buy another Cobra
2: Need to wait for another close family member to buy another Townhouse in the city (in the 60's would be nice to have access to again) for me to lay low in overnight


#1 will happen once we are settled in.
#2 is anyones guess, most certainly not in my price range

Sorry to bring bad news but the days/nights of racing or driving fast in any Tri-state tunnel are over after 9/11. Lincoln Tunnel speed limit is 35 mph and is heavily enforced.

back when Koch, Dinkins, and Rudy were New York Mayors, u could do 60 mph. No more.

But rules and speed limits are made to be broken. Just bring Red Bull drinks for the cops.

Too bad F1 cars now sound like weed eater with a vacuum cleaner attached to it.
