I’m very fortunate to have The Dragon practically in my backyard! That lake you drove by is Chilhowee Lake. We used to camp there all the time. That bridge you cross right before you get on the Dragon is Tab Cat bridge. I’ve jumped off that bridge numerous times
@@ItalianStallion410 @DereckBaranProductions if you like the views you should try Skyline drive at Shenandoah. Incredible scenery, and they have a tunnel at somepoint of the drive, really fun. Great video, enjoyed watching the gang rolling through the mountain ⛰️🤙🏼
Love driving that road. Did it many times on a bike too. Glad you enjoyed it! If you go back, be sure to go out to the dam. Great photo spot and it’s just a few minutes past the deal’s gap store you stopped at
He has to be excited and talk up a 300k mustang. That’s what he has to do to keep being invited to these events. This whole S650 is an S550 with Mach E interior. It’s embarrassing and cringy how they spit on and slurp Fords shaft and cum swap with each other. That’s what happens when TH-cam is your job. You have to sell out.
Jake you guys had a blast!!! Great video and your Dark Horse 🐎 is strong and reliable!!! Sounds great with the Kooks on!!! Thanks for the good video brother!!! 👍👊💪😎🇺🇸
Awesome place ! I live about 45 minutes from the Dragon 🐉 drove it a million times. PITS 2024 was a blast this year ! Glad you guys enjoyed our neck of the woods .
Also check out 421 The Snake . It’s about 2 hours north of the Dragon. It also a great road very similar to the Dragon. It runs from Bristol to Mountain City . It’s just past Bristol Motor Speedway. Great fun as well .
Great video Jake, I’m north of Shelby NC, A little over 50 miles west of Charlotte! I’m at the base of the foothills and I have some very fun roads …I’ve driven my whole life, Located off the Blue Ridge Parkway. They are like mini versions of this. . All the gas stations here are (green for diesel). I don’t understand that in Tennessee. I have yet to drive the dragon myself. thanks for sharing, bro! 🐉🖤🐎
Great vid; wouldn't be taking my S550 there but when the DH arrives, and I've got it appropriately specced out, I think this might warrant a 4 day weekend sometime next year!
Great video man car sounds clean 🧼 also love the model and color your wheels are fire and love the pops on the exhaust 👊🏼🫂🤜🏻🤛🏻🫡🤙🏻💜 much love from Sacramento California
Followed yall all the way from the gas station in pigeon forge. Passed ya when yall pulled off at the start of the dragon. Also pretty sure that was me heading out when you were lookin at the signs inside and said we missed em. Gorgeous car btw hope to see ya at ponies again next year!
Sick video man! This was a nice teaser for me. I’ve been saving up for a 5.0 for a while and I live about 2.5 hours from dragons tail so I’m definitely ripping the tail whenever I get it. Were you able to get your Dark horse for msrp? The specd out GT I want is damn near the same price as the Dark horse.
Brother!! There is so many different places you can o there some think better than the dragon. I was there with my 2020 pp2 loved.Go to Mountain Park Way it is BEAUTIFUL loved the video keep'em coming brother MERICA🇺🇸
Never road on the Dragon Tail before but I have been on the one call "The Snake" (Interstate 40 to Hwy421) which they say has 489 curves. Took this ride whenever I used to go see my sister when she was station in Fort Campbell coming from Fayetteville. Boy I used to have my little 2011 Ford Focus coasting thru there. Love every min of it.
Not even just felt good in that gear only had to up shift on like 3 straight aways camera made it look like I was going slow but I was taking turns at like 40-50 mph in second gear
Same here. Still have a 2013 3.7 so can’t wait to upgrade to the new chassis and 5.0. Thinking about getting a dark horse when the 2025 comes out if I can get one for msrp because by the time I spec out the GT I want it’s damn near the same price.
Always been a motorcycle road, glad I rode it several times before the cars ruined it. You’ll get killed on a bike now up there. Cars crossing the centerline.
I love the dragon. I try to drive it once a month. I live in Knoxville so I can get there in about 45 minutes. An incredible piece of road. Thankful it’s in my backyard.
I go to Tennessee every year and never heard about that road, I saw on Derek’s upload he passed right by a Jeep rental I go to and I still can’t figure out where this road is.. Is it on the way to a Cade’s Cove or around that area? Let me know if you see this because I’ll be going in May and July to my vacation home in Pigeon Forge.. Stay safe you guys! ❤️
@@ItalianStallion410 I never take my Mustang to Tennessee though, I got a 2019 performance pack 1 that’s only got 1870 miles on it 😆 and it’s not modified at all, y’all would laugh at this little lady.. Hopefully I can meet up with you all someday and maybe you can take me for a ride and show me what these cars are capable of doing because I don’t have the guts to push mine, I got to 90 on the highway and my heart was racing 😂
As a local i can contest that people go off the side of those mountains all of the time i drive up there quite a bit and the last time i drove up there a few months back a car went off the side of the mountain and i have also had family members go over and had to be flew out
The cameras make it look like we are going so slow but bro we were cooking those turns are sharp af my car was on 3 wheels in some turns they were so shard and dipped down
33:10 yeah if you’re getting nervous just from looking, you’re either scared of heights or you’re thinking of the worst outcome lol also hit the back of the dragon when ya’ll can
Temps get that hot cause of emessions ford won’t let the fans kick on until 215 degrees and the reason for that is so all the fuel being used gets burnt up
He thinks he is doing a good job staying in 2nd burning up his engine cooking his oil. His oil is literally boiling and he is dude I’m at 235 I kept it in 2nd. He obviously doesn’t know how to drive. Playing things up for the camera.
Please Bro, Your car would look so much harder and better over all, if you get rid of that black stuff on the hood.. Less is so much more in this case.. It's not for me it's for sake seriously.. That car would look so much better with minimal accents...
I’m very fortunate to have The Dragon practically in my backyard! That lake you drove by is Chilhowee Lake. We used to camp there all the time. That bridge you cross right before you get on the Dragon is Tab Cat bridge. I’ve jumped off that bridge numerous times

Thanks bro it was amazing
Very nice tail of the dragon looks amazing!!!
Thanks bro wish you coulda came with us
What’s the reason for staying in one gear? Was it just so you could focus on not flying off a cliff?
Not even just felt good in that gear only had to up shift on like 3 straight aways camera made it look like I was going slow but I was taking turns at like 40-50 mph in second gear
Hello, it’s the stock exhaust ? Absolutely nice sound and roads men 🔥
Yeah just with headers
Did it change the sound a lot ?

Epic video brother
Much appreciated
Pretty much all of Europe has "black" for diesel and "green" for unleaded.... Plus the nozzles are a different size.
Always been a motorcycle road, glad I rode it several times before the cars ruined it. You’ll get killed on a bike now up there. Cars crossing the centerline.
Yeah I have seen a lot do that the time I was there also had a few bikes come into my lane on the second day road is very tight
I love the dragon. I try to drive it once a month. I live in Knoxville so I can get there in about 45 minutes. An incredible piece of road. Thankful it’s in my backyard.

I watched Derek’s video and I guess Romina was getting scared and he didn’t want to push it too much

@@ItalianStallion410 nice man glade you guys had fun and you all were safe out there because some of those turns I would hate to fall off of a cliff

I am used to driving smaller cars on the Dragon. I am curious how my Dark Horse will respond.
You will love it
Maaaan i would be lit up on these roads boy 🛞💨
Facts I would be in trouble if I lived there
Ive been to Pikes Peak 10 tomes batter
Nice video 🔥🔥 👍👍

Brother why are you so afraid to change a gear? A manual car is like a music instrument-play the instrument.
On that road I did the dragon 4 times in 2 days only like 3 times I up shifted was just better to stay in second gear
@@ItalianStallion410I guess.. but thanks for shared experience.
FORGOT TO TELL YA GO on their website you can get pictures of ur car it may be called Kill Roy can't remember
I forgot to say that in a video I never knew that was even a thing I thought it was just a random dude until someone told me
Killboy or 129 Photos … both do great pictures , peace ✌🏻
Great footage but you are totally underestimating how much of a beating that Dark Horse can take if you are complaining about the temps, etc.
Temps get that hot cause of emessions ford won’t let the fans kick on until 215 degrees and the reason for that is so all the fuel being used gets burnt up
