TAIL OF THE DRAGON Spirited Driving | 2008 Honda Civic Si (FG2)

Hey guys it's RyanTheLion back with some real world driving footage!
This is my first real world driving video. I've revived my old GoPro Hero 4 and have been using it to record some driving clips using a head strap. I also have a suction mount that I can use in the future.
In a convoy of 6 other cars, we made the 21 hour drive from Denver Colorado to the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. It was the first road trip in my car and I put close to 4000 miles on it in only 8 days.
While we have good mountain roads in Colorado, the ones out there really feel ideal for enthusiasts. Fun banked/cambered corners, smooth asphalt, and rural surroundings really make it feel like a Forza Horizon map at times.

[@jjmunz7718]

8th generations honda si are one of the best generations of the Hondas built besides the 1999 2000 👍. They 8th generation si has a lot of potential and will become a classic car one day soon worth a lot of money.

I 100% agree

Apologize for the blown out exposure, this old GoPro has a hard time in this type of lighting. Follow me on IG at @sleek_si for more!
