I went to the mountains last week

I took my tour to north carolina and tenn, between the weather last week. I went to robbinsville, tail of the dragon, cherohala skyway, then to blue ridge parkway and asheville. and as far as the brp was open.
There was a snow storm week before last, I left as soon as it cleared up. I went around the tail and the cherohala for 2 days, hardly any traffic, and too cold for motorcycles. I left and took the brp to asheville. Then east to mt mitchell, and to 80(one of my favorite roads) Then it rained one day, and I left. It was a great drive in the S63. Cant wait til I can go back

Cool

Cool man looks beautiful. I went to the tail of the dragon a couple years back. My ecm on my Vette took a dump right before the trip so i had to take the My S coupe and I was pleasantly surprised how well it performed in the twisties for being such a big and heavy car. big plus was riding back to chicago in total comfort. I wish we had roads out here in the Chicago area like that.

yea, the tail is so slow, such short openings that you cant get going too fast. The big car is harder to keep in the lane but otherwise its just as fast and feels as smooth as a sports car. A s63 is alot better on the open road, cherohala and brp. And I find its just as fun and feels a whole lot smoother

Beautiful car and beautiful roads. I'll be moving to Raleigh next year (From Los Angeles) and can't wait to drive my S65 Coupe on those roads.
