"You can never use that grip on the street"
"No one can exploit the Handling Package's capabilities"
"I use a scraped front splitter as an excuse to remain in denial about wanting a trim level"
"You won't notice the difference in performance"

Me: Okay.

*Road scouted, comms active, no dual lane use. Don't attempt to drive outside of your own limit*
Experience not included with car.

Wow…nicely driven sir and wish I lived anywhere near a great road like that!
I puckered a couple times when I thought you were on the edge of stepping out a little but quickly saved by HP and driving experience.

I think the Sport Cups are roughly around 2-3/32nds now. They start talking to you when they lose tread but still quite grippy.

I LOVE that road.... I haven't taken my Mach on it yet but took my PP GT several times. As well as my MKV VW R 32... It definitely takes a slow no traffic day for me, I never go on the weekend or a holiday week...

Yep. It really is all about timing now. And you must scout the road before each northern run now, at least before 6pm because "they" are very sneaky these days.

Fortunately there are better less traveled roads over in East TN where I live now. I tend to frequent those now most times. The dragon has become too commercialized.. Did a Mustang rally last summer all over WNC ( I am a WNC native) and never hit the dragon once, but did go thru deals gap and over to Cherohala... And had 3 days of fantastic driving

Yeah the rallies make it undriveable. If you come up there after 7pm and obviously at midnight, road to yourself.
