-_- the answer to your question is a matter of opinion. all canyons are fun but, not all drivers can have fun in the canyon. just don't be dumb when you do go up cuz, you just might ruin it for everyone else.

Yeah, I think it's a matter of opinion sadly questions like these I don't openly answer because of the possibility of certain people lurking

If your every going up the cajon pass you have to exit silverlake exit by the McDonalds.
There is a clean canyon run similar to GMR but some of the turns are pitched at an angle and ends in hesperia

i know of a few local canyons but I dont remember the name of the street... i just know that they are not popularly known to car people so they are off the radar =)

Just be careful in the fast lane right before the Mullholland exit, there has been a wizard's hat in the drain there for about seven months. I try to hit it as I go by but never succeeded.

In my mind, nothing better than Tuna... One way, down hilll. Just remermber to watch out for your brakes. On my Miata with Axxis Ultimates faded at about end. In the E36 M3 brakes lasted till the end but needed cooling off period.
