Long road trip including a couple runs on the Tail Of The Dragon
I took a great trip with my wife for our 5th wedding anniversary to NC/TN and I got to run the Tail in my FRS. Wow is that fun- but my wife was freaking out LOL. There's a lot more to driving up there than just the tail, there's a LOT of great driving roads in that area.
The trip total was just shy of 2000 miles. I strapped on the OEM muffler for the trip and the car performed like a champ the whole way. At high elevations I could feel that the car was extra breathless and the clutch and brakes felt slightly harder. But this car slinks along the mountain roads like nothing I have ever driven before!
I saw 2 other 86's up there- blue and red. There's photographers along the route and they have websites where you can buy professional photographs of you in a corner. I wanted to buy a calendar with my car on it, but the site says that the calendar is 2016.... so I ended up not buying one. If it was a 2018 calendar I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
