It's my oldest's sons car 2015 v6 auto he loves it, 348 hp stock he races it at auto cross events in Brooksville and Tampa, it only has 7000 miles on it. He took a vacation to Dragons Tail and the Chaloua Parkway went to some caverns there it was his first vacation and he enjoyed it. Dragons Tail is in the corners of northwest Georgia, southwest corner of South Carolina southeast corner of Tennesee in the mountains it is an 11 mile stretch of mountain road with 318 curves very popular with motorcycle enthusists but the import guys have found it to be a challenging road and flock there to run it, he said when he went it was weekdays so there were no big crowds but he did run it with and older guy in a GTR!!!!

He has a go pro and filmed the drive but it was god awful boring this is something you gotta experance first hand, the other was Cheeloeah Parkway he said speed limit was about 35-40 on the tail he ran a few times at 50-55 but he felt he was not good enough to go faster,on the other hand the parkway was 50-55 he said average speed for him was 65-80 there due to the sweeping curves. He has had this car above 150 several times here in town and says it still has more throttle left. He told me tonight he loves this car but really wants a Challenger or an STI [?] whatever that is.

My plan is to retire at 62 [I'll be 57 in march] and work part time play with old beaters [buy,fix,sell older cars] that's if the government don't pull the rug out from under me before then!!!
