Well three weeks in a row now, I have drove up to the Dragon from Atlanta with my fg2 and carved up the curves. I have a Honda motorcycle that I usally ride there but every since I took the Si up to meet the 8th.civic guys I discovered a whole new way to carve the twisties.
This is way more fun than on a motorcycle. I have met some hard core riders up there that only run at night late, this includes guys on sport bikes and other sports cars like s2000's and wrx's 300z's to name a few. Some very good drivers including killboy to name one. Others are not popular but can really drive. I am the new kid and I have to tell you from running the dragon several times now and improving my driving skill, (no where near these guys) I can tell you this, myCivic Si with a rear sway bar and a Magnaflow exhaust only can run like a true sports car.
This car ROCKS! I'm running the engine at max rpm's for 3 weekends now. From time I get in and drive up there the engine is running wide ass open. You can't hurt it with the accelerator as the rev limiter keeps you from blowing it up. hehe! Other wise I'm confident I would have allready as I drive it very hard.
This is a testomony to Honda and the handeling ability of the new Civic Si. The straight line driving is fun, but the true design of this car imo is cornering and braking.
By the way I turn off the VSA when running the Dragon as this lets me have full control.
I will return there again this weekend with the other boys as it is something that you can't get enough of.
I only hope that any Si owner that is in the area of the DRAGON come and run it, (have to wait till after 6pm when the traffic dies down and the POLICE go home.) hehe!
