I can take 75 or 77. I was thinking of taking one of them up, and the other down. As of now, I'm planning to leave here sometime Saturday, and leave there Friday morning.

SHO SPD (I think) says he is going, but I think he's on the west coast and will want to take 75.

fastest way for u kelvin is up 95, up 26 through south carolina, west 40 over to I-75 and take that the rest of the way.... good drive on 40 going that way if you never have...... I think they even drop the speed limit down to 45 or 40 on the I-40 interstate through a spot because of the mountains, always wanted to drive a SHO up there.

Ive been through I40 between NC/Tenn it is indeed and awesome place to drive.
Not sure if it is still closed at the nc/tn border from that rock slide last year though.

It looks like I'm going to be towing the car with my dad's 1500 Sierra, so I'd kinda like to avoid the mountains.

take the turnpike to 75... or take 95 to 10 then west to 75

take 75 all the way up, slightly hilly in tennessee and kentucky, but to the east and north is much worse, pretty much the more west you go the better

I've gone up that route like 50+times

Yeah,towing up the mountians on i40 would not be fun.
What engine is in the Sierra?
As much as I hate to say it Id go up 75 if I were towing,you will be west of the worst parts.
75 is full of cops in GA though...

I've towed SHOs up and down 75 I don't know how many times. And driven it way more times than that. I'm just kind of sick of it to be honest, so I was looking at 95/77 as an alternative.

It's got the 5.3, but the gears are what kills it. It towed my 95 to Kalamazoo and back, and brought this car back from the Nashville area, so it can do it, but I'd rather not run it harder than necessary.

yeah the pigs in GA suck big time, those bastards don't even sit on the interstate and radar you, I've seen them on side roads, bridges, stuff like that, then they radio up ahead to their buddies and they pull you over lol

Yes, I am going. I will be taking 75 up the whole way.. But I am leaving Friday night and going straight through to Grand Rapids Michigan to pick up my dad. We will leave his house on Sunday sometime.
