Has anyone from the Group gone there for the joy ride? 14 miles of turns 318 is what they mentioned on the article. I drove my car in Bear Mountain with the P-Club near West Point it is what these cars are made for. Hard driving, upshifting, downshifting and while having "grey poupon"
Hi,

I made 6 runs on the Dragon, but in my Esprit, not the Boxster. It is a great road so long as you plan the trip to stay away from the Harley, Miata, Healey, etc. drive events.

My other favorite drive is the Coast Road on Maui from Kihei , around the NW tip of the island and down to Hana. I did that in a Ferrari 355 Spider and a Miata. The Miata was actually more nimble and fun, but the 355 got waay more looks...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
