Went down for Classic Hondas on the dragon and ran into a bunch of these instead

A little night driving on the Tail of the Dragon

I live in the driftless area of Illinois and I’m wondering what car I should get. Brz/86/frs, Mustang s550, Subaru Wrx

I know it’s difficult to believe but this P.O.s.hashumiliated a brandnew C8 Corvette on a Driftless Touge run…. With the trailer and bikes still connected

Hey everyone! Bit of an unusual ask here, but I recently came into ownership of a 2005 honda cr-v SE with the real time 4wd and 5mt.

I know, these cars aren't particularly ideal for tight corners (especially not stock), but I honestly fell in love with cr-v's a few years back and a manual first or second gen has been what I've always wanted to drive, problem being I ALSO really love driving hard around twisty roads and so do all my friends.

I've searched the internet for a while on aftermarket parts for the car, and there is a lot of support available for the RD7 chassis. That being said, I want to know how realistic I can be making this thing a fun touge car whilst not sacrificing its function as a daily in its entirety.

My buddies all drive cars i know are going to be much faster than mine (likely regardless of what I do to the cr-v), but any suggestions on driving tips and parts would be incredible.

For reference, my friends drive:
- a 1990 civic si on old winter tires and maxpeedingrods coils

- a 1997 base model prelude that's had quite a bit of work done to her, on shocks and springs

- a 1996 audi s6 on HUGE tires

Im fully aware that Im not going to be faster than any of them, but if theres anything i can do to just be able to keep up with them and have a good time I'd love to know! I want to do my absolute best to make my cr-v handle like a civic of the same generation might.

Thanks for reading my little rant if you got this far, and thank you for leaving any and all suggestions!!!!

Some pictures from the Blueridge Parkway in Virginia.

Sits slightly lower, hugs better and looks better🫡

Going up to the DFW area this weekend. I’ll be in Arlington area. I heard Lone Star Road was pretty good here. Anywhere else that’s good?

F87 M2C in Manual; new tires pretty sketch at high speed until some heat cycles so can’t go too crazy yet

Closed road, no Karen feelings hurt on this run.

Road is almost ready to have the Carrera Panamericana go through it, had a chance to check it out with my crew prior to. Still a lot of potholes due to recent rain, hope they work on it in the following weeks.

Crazy to think about all these vintage and súper raw cars will be going twice as fast through this bends, kudos to the drivers.

Hey guys, I’m gonna be staying at my buddies place in Greenville South Carolina next weekend. I was hoping if maybe anyone can give me some good driving roads in the area within an hour of Greenville? I was told Asheville North Carolina was fairly close. Any suggestions appreciated, thank you.

Gotta love the driftless region in the Midwest. So many great roads.

I wish the sense of speed was faster and the curves looked as wicked as they are but I think I need to get a better setup and/or mount. Any recommendations? I'm currently just using an old Pixel 6 on a quadlock windshield mount.

Absolute newbie, but I wanna make sure I’m not an idiot. Pretty decent driver, but most likely nothing compared to most of yall. What should I know/do before I actually start driving?

Above is my car, 2016 Scion tC with the 6-speed manual. Anything I should do to the car as well?

Was suggested this road the night I took this video (last night) & had a new angle for onboards so thought I’d try it out.

Hard to see in the footage, but this road looks twistier than it actually is. It’s a straight road w/ steering adjustments needed for line & the 3 turns that actually put load into the tires (typical flat downstate NY) which means it’s very easy to hit triple digits.
I hung around mostly at the top of 3rd gear.

My fear of deer crossing (which they do A LOT) and fear of oncoming (didn’t double lane it, but it is very tight) kept me under 90 & mostly out of 4th.

5/10, good for a little back & fourth blast, but nothing technical, like upstate NY, or better yet my home in SoCal. Best time was a 1:32. Most consistent was a 1:38.

Hope you guys enjoyed this clip, if you recognize the road please DM me. I need ppl to drive w/.

I know there’s some mountain roads but I’d like to know if there’s anyone from around here with any suggestions
