Back from our trip:
-2148 mi., 18.8 mpg, 46 avg mph, $340 fuel (got 20.5 mpg on the highway from PA to TN)
-Car performed flawlessly
-PS4S tires were great, even in the rain... every day but 2 of them
-90 degrees most days and I had the rain shield in throughout the trip... no issues. Temps remained within range.
-Ran the Dragon in 3rd gear for the most part. Just used the torque to pull it around
-The other driving roads were even more fun, IMO, than the Dragon. Faster sweepers or long straights... easy 70-100 mph + sections everywhere.
-Xpel PPF and the CarPro sealant made taking car of the car easy on the trip. Without PPF on the frontend and the front of the qtrs, I'm sure this thing would be chewed up tremendously.
-Blacksburg, VA for a night to visit Mountain Lake Lodge where Dirty Dancing was filmed
-Pigeon Forge, TN for 3 nights to visit Smokey Mountains and Tail of the Dragon and other various 'driving roads' (~600 mi traveled here)
-Charlotte, NC for a night to visit NASCAR shops (Penske, JR, Gibbs, Hendrick, RCR) and Detroit Speed Inc... out of hand experience to see these operations
-Charlottesville, VA for a night on a farm as a pit stop on the way home
