This past weekend a bunch of mustang folks and myself went up to deals gap in north carolina and ran the tail of the dragon. For those of you who don't know, it's highway 129 right on the carolina/tennesee border and it's got 318 curves in 11 miles and it will make your suspension and tires beg for mercy.

Anyways, here's some video of the stuff. Needless to say, the RSX cleaned house. One guy with a cobra with about $3500 dumped into his suspension had the fastest stang there but even stock with the AWFUL tires that come with the RSX, I was able to stay right on his bumper.

There was also a real 00 cobra R that rode a bit with us and I don't think he was trying too hard becuase when we were leaving town, I saw him in my rear view mirror for about 4 turns and then that was the last I saw of him until we got done with the road :ugh2:

Check out plenty of pics.
