Unleashing the Veloster N | Pursuing a 500HP Supra on the Tail of the Dragon | Pure Sound POV

Hey Everyone! Every year my friends and I take a trip to Helen Georgia for Alpine Volks Fair. This year we decided to venture off and test our cars on the Tail of the Dragon. I drove the car in N custom mode with auto rev match TURNED OFF. The homie Jose was in front of me so I took the opportunity to chase him and see what the N could do!
Veloster N Mods:
JB4
AEM Cold Air Intake
H&R Lowering Springs
Depo Racing Catless Downpipe
18" Enkei RPF1s on Michelin Pilot Super Sport 4S

beautiful run, extremely capable car and driver

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Thanks bro, appreciate the kind words!

[@mikeyinid]

You're slowing me down Supra!

[@LrodriguezMedia]

hahaha

[@shinatoIV]

GTI, Supra mk5, and Veloster N are some of my favourite cars

[@noah22261]

Wow that was awesome. Such a high level of production quality

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Wouldn’t go that far haha, appreciate the kind words bro!

[@alexrosario6294]

Great video man!

[@LucasZ1mmerman]

Quality Content per usual👑

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Miss you bro! Hope you're doing amazing!

[@ABSjazz]

Hell yeah man. This was an epic run

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Next time I’m following you to see what that gti do

[@GEARHEADHEAVEN]

Proper fun

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Most fun I’ve had in this car

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

Your turbo/intake noises 😻

[@LrodriguezMedia]

I need more!!

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

​@Lrodriguez Media dude the car looks awesome btw I didn't think that rpf1s would look so good on our car's and did you notice a big difference in acceleration when you went from stocks to the enkei's

[@LrodriguezMedia]

@@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr The weight difference alone was huge, the stocks with tires weighed in at around 60lbs, the rf1s with tires weighed in at around 42-45lbs iirc. Best bang for your buck wheels for sure!

[@JorgeCabrera-zh7yr]

@Lrodriguez Media yup they definitely are I had black rpf1s on my 10th gen si awesome wheels I'm thinking about getting them for the VN

[@frankalex23]

Did you have to get a custom tune to run the catless down pipe or did the base map Jb4 work?

[@Wvlfmane]

Dope, this car really punches above its weight on a twisty backroad. What camera did you use to get the behind footage? I’d love to get driving footage like that of my Veloster N

[@LrodriguezMedia]

It's such a capable car man! Surprises me every time! I used the Insta360 one X2 with the gecko triple suction cup mount! Hope this helped you!

[@Wvlfmane]

@@LrodriguezMediait truly is! And thanks for the answer 🙏

[@derekevans888]

sick

[@LrodriguezMedia]

no u

[@blacksnowboarderlu]

Tires make big difference when racing drifting or on track/mountain trail. All day any day!

[@DevzMedia]

🔥🔥

[@LrodriguezMedia]

No u

[@delth_6932]

How’d you get your tail lights like that?

[@carldouglasFL]

come on over take him!

[@JustViperz]

Your turbo has the stututu, what did you do to your blow off valve or does it normally sound like that?? beautiful car, I want to upgrade/trade my Honda civic 2023 sport for it.

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Thanks! It’s just an AEM intake, no BOV

[@Dry.007]

Supra was too slow, i have a veloster N and i did few pass there, without the supra at front you can get more than that

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Hahaha, to be fair it was his first time running the car like this in the mountains so he was getting a feel for it. I just came out with a video of my lead run if you wanna check it out! :)

[@eastender74]

Driver in the Supra is definitely a nube! I’d of been going a lot faster into the corners and pulling out in second gear like a rocket. This guy was way under driving that Supra!! 🤦‍♂️

[@mikesarchive1337]

What phone mount are you using? and what gopro mount did you use?

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Just some phone mount i found at home depot, and the gopro mount is just the head mount from best buy

[@youcangetsum6871]

How do you get the brake light on the wing to flash like that?

[@Yourmomsbestfriend2501]

It was a dealer option for my car but there are kits that are aftermarket for it.

[@Adr_Jim]

The camera needs to be a little higher up so us viewers can see the road and the other car. Otherwise it is just the same as taking a still video of the rear end of your car. I love the Veloster N btw

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Oh for sure I agree! Unfortunately we were kind of pressed for time to attend a meet later so this is what I had to work with. My latest video with the moody weather has a better angle of both.

[@the_nguy9123]

33 PSI in the front? is it to get more grip? Recommended PSI is 38 F - 35 R

[@LrodriguezMedia]

39F-35R is recommended on the door sill for best economy. 33 is for more front grip on the roads. You can do lower if you're on the track

[@HexenmeisterProxyZwei]

Greater pressure generally equates to more traction/faster response time. Higher rear pressure invites the backend to rotate around quicker in a FWD. Generally its better to have lower front pressure for track use since the fronts will be receiving more heat (naturally raising the pressure) during extended sessions of braking and hard cornering. If a tire gets too hot from higher pressures, it will overheat and lose traction. The tire's compound determines this rate of endurance/maintenance of traction during a variety of load scenarios. High performance tires take this into account. Basic all seasons or winter tires, not so much.

[@michaelkeller1538]

Is that an aftermarket bov?

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Just an intake, BOVs sound like a choo choo train

[@michaelkeller1538]

@Lrodriguez Media awesome. Thanks!

[@its.Andy1]

Highly doubt NC state troopers closed the tail of the dragon just for y’all to drive like that, plus having oncoming traffic. Everytime I go there, there’s always one that crosses the double line going into a blind corner inches from hitting me. It’s not a race track. All it takes is for someone to oversteer or understeer and they’re ending up in a ditch lol

[@HexenmeisterProxyZwei]

Lol, just another fearmonger. As long as you yourself know your limits, are paying attention to other drivers, & are aware of the dangers they could present on the roadway to you, driving will always be very safe if you know how to & can react in a split second when a threat emerges. You may be at the wheel of a 3000+ lb speed machine but the wheel is /still/ in your hands after all. Dodge. Besides, significant risks can be managed appropriately, even more so, since you can choose when to drive in a spirited manner. There is a right time and place for everything. Always be aware of the risks but do not let yourself get distracted needlessly by "what ifs", maintain control at all times, & at utmost, enjoy the drive. There are always people like you on all of these driving videos that raise a hoot about "that one time when or what if x happened so don't ever even try to have fun" but on average, that kind of incident may be 1/1000 or less but, of course, elevated by chaotic stupidity in the spur of the moment by an unskilled driver. Tail of the Dragon practically invites driving enthusiasts so the mixture of skilled and unskilled is more prominent, allowing for anomalies to rise up from the pool of possibility.

[@Olemrac11]

you need an oil cooler my friend

[@hmmmmmmmmmmmism]

Sub 998. Two more to go 😊

[@LrodriguezMedia]

LETS GOOO!

[@f.9182]

what intake is this?

[@LrodriguezMedia]

AEM Cold Air Intake, The mods are in the description if you were wondering about anything else!

[@Bev.]

i'd get left behind instantly

[@LrodriguezMedia]

Not if you keep it at 8k xD

[@legacyautofocus]

I wouldn't have showed the first clip. It gives off "oh, it's rhd" vibes. And also, it cuts to him reaching in, and the next clip shows him at the tailgate. Just try and visualize seeing it for the first time after its all edited together. "eh that doesn't go with the next clip or it does or maybe I want this later or earlier in the video." Criticize your own video before you post so maybe others won't. It was just the first clip to the second for me. The rest of the "story" was well played out. Just giving dome advice, what you do with it, is up to you.
