*** Tail of the Dragon in my 997S ***

6 speeders,

You may have seen a few pictures floating around regarding my MASSIVE road trip (7 days, 11 states, 3526 miles) on here but i thought id focus on the Tail of the Dragon for you all since its the most "car related" and since the 997 did FANTASTIC on the tail...

Here are a few pictures to get you going........

Had to get the tshirt haha


Cooling off before slaying the dragon


"Loud Pipes Save Lives"




Cops were VERY cool here....actually busted my ***** for not hitting the corner faster!!!


Boys and their toys...aka My 997S Aero + Dodge Factory 09 Viper ACR!


Conquered the Dragon!!!



Thanks for looking guys. The car really did great on this road....perfect blend of power and grip. Anymore power to the rear wheels and I would have been sliding around, but any less and it wouldnt have been as fun! The car just STUCK to the ground and really was passing/keeping pace with everything we saw (except the crotch rockets).

Cheers!

Jon

OMG, A FREAKING ACR at the tail. Where are you from pearlcoupe? We have a group that runs up there once or twice a year, usually in the earlier months. There are much better (and faster) roads than the Tail to have fun on.

We passed a cop on a bike but didnt know it was a cop till we stopped because of a low tires. He pulled up and said "just dont kill anybody" and drove off. Classic!

Thanks Ed! I think that sticker is intended for Harleys - but it applies VERY MUCH to my 997S w/Fabspeed Race Pipes

I wish I would have known - we could have joined up.....but DEF get your car there soon man. It was seriously THE BEST time behind the wheel EVER (including track times, autox, 1/4 mile, street races, etc)....no comparission in my mind.
