I don't know why I torture myself reading posts like this- It just makes me *need* and E90 M3 more and more.

We just missed each other
I was on the Dragon from March 29th through April 1st. I actually thought highway 28 or the "moonshiners run" was great also. Greater distance between turns and the ability to build more speed. The parkway through the smoky mountains national park was also great for photo ops.

Like I said, I think I will go back for a couple of days to drive the Dragon again and explore surrounding roads. |

Great trip! I have a good friend who lives in Maryville, TN...that place is like a playground with the roads, the park...and only 45 minutes from Dollywood (ha!).
Next time you go, I recommend picking up Benton's Bacon, if you haven't done so before. You can find it in some specialty shops. Best bacon on the planet. Were the redbuds/dogwoods in bloom yet? |

I've been on most of the best roads in the US, and the Dragon is by far the best.
It's truly unbelievable. If you're lucky enough to get there on a day with little to no traffic, it's a religious experience. |

The reason there are so many exotic cars in Miami is the place attracts all of the useless rich playboys in the US.

Man you were in my back yard. Next time try to plan your trip to the naples/Bonita area in early feb that's when the big Ferrari show is down on 5th ave. I think there were over 150 this year.

DAMN only one car went by you the whole time!!! This would have been great information to know before you took the route!! Then maybe you could have actually gone fast
