We finally did it. 3 years in the making.

We've been planning this trip up to the tail of the dragon for 3 years. I even built an entire car really just for the dragon, sold it, bought another car so we both had 90's turbo awd cars. and we finally made it up here to blast some touge style mountain roads!

Tools Used

It kills me to say this but when we went camping a couple years ago I realized we were a half hour away from the tail so I went in the family car which was a 3rd gen prius. Because it’s so tight and technical the car stayed within the usable range for the electric motors and holy shit was that a blast. Wicked low center of gravity and a perfect weight ratio. Can’t wait to go back with the shit missile fox body my boy and I will be building in the spring. So glad you had a blast!

Cool seeing Ben rolling out with Taylor to do some very cool road work.

The Devil’s Whip, in Marion, NC is a really fun road if you’re ever back in the area!

[SirVic]

That's the first I've seen Ben drive not on limiter the entire time.

I absolutely loved my trip to the Dragon. I did it in my 500 Abarth. Ended up with the road to myself for several hours because an 18 wheeler went on the road and of course went off a curve and blocked it off, while it was raining so nobody but me and a couple of crazy bikers were on the road. Then it dried up but the 18 wheeler was still there so I emptied a tank of gas going up and down an empty Dragon. Bucket list checked.

So exited to see the pulsar in action, keep up the amazing Taylor ❤️🔥

Awesome, and glad you had a blast up there! That has been my playground for over 10 years, but on a motorcycle. 4 years on a sport bike. To be honest, I'm lucky to be alive. The next 6 years on an ADV bike on lots and lots of dirt roads up there. The next time you go up there, try to bring or meet somebody who knows the area. But completely understandable that you just wanted to be on the dragon, especially if it was not busy, you cant go wrong. Next time up there, venture out, you will never want to leave. Also what a great car to go up there with. Small, zippy, and not too much power. Its fun to drive a lower powered car hard.

Driving highway 20 across the pass in Washington is an amazing drive as well!! I highly recommend it for anyone who likes driving and seeing amazing nature!!

We drove down from the Wisconsin Illinois border in my 17 year old son's stock 95 miata with 200 tread wear tires and mommas 2012 mustang gt 5.0 6 speed with fresh Turing tires three girls and a dog.(FYI had nothing for her on exit) Probably the best family trip we've had yet can't wait for next year's gap adventure vacation. Thanks for the videos and content, puts a huge smile on my

Most fun arm workout ever. 💪
Six Gap in N.Georgia is a good option too

I love seeing JDM car being driven like there were meant to and that turbo sounds so good with that blowoff valve.

[ericdraper]

Been waiting for this! Love these Dragon visits. Great car (or bike) getaway content.

[robsfooty]

Great vid Taylor. I know exactly what you are getting at describing driving spirited without risking too much. Enjoying the corners can be done without being dumb.

[speedydan]

Hell yeah! please more Grip racing/driving!!! More action content. the building and fab is sick but this is pure Gold

[MichaelS]

There is a road like this in Idaho, if I remember correctly it is I-55 or near it, goes North up into the panhandle. It is curvy and just amazing, gorgeous mountain views and fast grippy corners. I was lost when I found it.

My wife and I did the dragon a few years ago on our 1973 BMW R60/5 motorcycle. It was the most fun I have ever had on the motorcycle. We new of the Dragon but were not really looking for it and we found it by accident. We were touring around the Smoky mountains and ended up right on it. Bought all the pictures the photographers had of us!

[NNate]

Taylor absolutely love the videos and the commentary, if I was ever able to buy and build a car I know that if I could build with anyone, it’d be you forsure! Keep up the content brother <3

[sprinklerdude]

I'm already on the Tail of the Dragon website planning my trip. Thanks for the destination I have been looking for!
