Haha yeah it does. Definitely a unique sound that is unmistakable when she’s in the revs. Absolutely love it

[@winterpurple4587]

Well didn't Lamborghini design this thing's engine? Because at the time they were owned by Chrysler. This was before all the German influence; before the Audi acquisition. Hence it has the characteristic of a classic Lamborghini: Raw, Wild, Untamed, and Dangerously Unpredictable/Uncontrollable when you hit a certain speed. Just like Bull riding... just like Bull riding :)

Awesome vid, I just did the Tail for the first time today in my lightly modified 2014 Subaru Brz. What I noticed was the amount of shifting that you didn't have to do, I was up and down between 2 and 4th the whole way. You got so much HP and torque in that thing you barely had to shift, looks like you just keep it in 3rd. Awesome driving in an awesome car 👍😎

[@advicemaster1365]

Your BRZ would be waiting for both these cars to pull over and let you by. The Dragon is made for light weight high torque cars.

[@kyle3402]

There’s a lil road that I’ve driven probably 50 times now and my 5.0 on about 25 of those times and it’s so much fun to know the flats and when to downshift cuz of an upcoming curve or to press on the throttle to get that extra half sec of speed before you gotta slam the brakes. The best part is the double hairpin I do where I fly in at about 75mph going to a rise that necessitates me to downshift two gears with my foot HEAVY on the break cuz at the bottom is the double hair pin and I’m still reviving high in first as I go through the turns. Something about the body roll and engine noise I just love

the thrill of going speeds only possible through intimate knowledge of the road always puts a smile on my face

[@kyle3402]

@@5C2WMedia oh for sure especially when you know your car because you’ve driven it for so long. I may not have the control of a light body car like Miata or a brz I can just throw around corners with no fear but the acceleration and noise I hear as I hit the flats and knowing I hit it at the right time is just music to my ears. Down shift down shift flat run up shift roar up shift roooooaaar. It’s all fun no matter the car

[@kyle3402]

@@advicemaster1365 oh it is stick and on that road there are times where I skip from 4 to 2. A lot of it is done at 4K rpms that way I can get the balance between launch, upshift and if I’m braking I’m able to be in high rpm in second. I’ve done the same run in a c7 grand sport and that is absolutely insanity. As much as I can do in my GT that blew me away
