The Untold Truth About Driving a Lotus Elise vs. ND Miata @ The Tail of the Dragon!
We drove the Tail of the Dragon! This has been one of those roads we've been wanting to drive for years -and I present to you the full drive with a 2007 Lotus Elise and a 2016 Mazda Miata (Club.) On December 27th, I drove from Boston, MA to Deals Gap TN/NC in order to finally drive one of the all-time great roads: THE TAIL OF THE DRAGON December, of course, is the off-season, but we had an opening and we went for it! Thankfully, we were lucky enough to have some beautiful weather, and the Lotus and Miata did not disappoint! This video is meant to show you what it is like to drive the Tail of the Dragon, for the first time, in a Lotus Elise. In this video, I'm chasing a 2016 Mazda Miata driven by friend of the channel, Mike. It wasn't really a race, we drove spiritedly, but safely, and I followed behind so that I could narrate this video. I hope you enjoyed this peek at the Tail of the Dragon and what it's like to drive it from a first person point of view from behind the wheel of a Lotus Elise!
