It can, that's why you have to get the Corsair liquid cooling system.

New CTR video!

Have you guys seen this? I love the styling. Call me a ricer, but I still love the super aggressive design. Can't wait for this to come out in the States.

x2 on the styling. Excited to see these in the wild!

Is it just me, or is that a cable throttle at 1:14?

New Honda Civic Type R in Red & White (1st
Thank you for sharing that
I love the red interior and red exterior combo

I love the design

If it is under 35k, it has me as excited when I bought my new 1992 Aztec green b17 gs-r back in the day and start the days being numbered for the tsx wagon

This would make me stop hoping for a new mazdaspeed3 to replace my old one

I also like the polarizing styling and I really like that red.

One huge drawback that would keep me from potentially buying it compared to the Focus RS is of course FWD. As much as I like it, I don't think I'd get another. Maybe if it would be my first hot hatch.

Hmm, how will that affect tuning capabilities? Interesting.

Calling all Tail of the Dragon veterans or those that have knowledge - I will be in Tennessee in the second week of October for a wedding and it is only about an hour and a half away from TotD. The gf and I are planning on driving down with friends, and probably carpooling in a friend's car. But now that I realize how close to TotD I will be, I am thinking I should really drive down in the ST and take the time for a nice side trip. I could bring my GoPro and DSLR to film the run, and I bet it would be amazing.

So, the question for those who have done it, what did you think about the experience? Is it worth the drive? Does it matter in which direction you start? Could it potentially be busy in early October when autumn is coming about and the scenery is changing? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I've never been but it's somewhat close to me. I know that October is the busiest month and have heard that motorcyclists really clog the roads.

Haha crazy. The S2k would be perfect for TotD.

Yeah I think it would amazing. 1.5 hours is not bad at all. I just hope at that time of year it wouldn't be overly crowded and therefore restrictive.

I was going to post in your thread but decided to here. Potential meet up! But right now I'm not really sure how much free time I'll have. That's something I'll have to figure out.

It would be farther for you and SuperTrooper. Nashville looks to be about just under 4 hours from TotD.
