Just so you guys can recognize me if you see me walking around at Fontanna. Here’s a picture from a couple of weeks ago...

How bad is the Dragon in a stock handling Z? Not really wanting to do swift springs but maybe a front sway bar.

Not bad at all. Just get some better brake pads and DOT 4 fluid. Motul RBF600 or the like.

If you don't run real hard, it is not an issue. When guys run with us their brakes are smoking hot.
The "I got to drive it down the road to cool them off hot". Smoking and stinking like hell.
I am not the fastest guy out their either.....

As long as you know your limits and your car's limits, you should be fine. Don't be tempted to keep up with others who have driven it numerous times and whose cars are well-modded. It can get real sketchy real quick. I know because I had several scares my first year in my stock Z with no experience. I went home with a good plan on what needed to be changed and have been loving the roads up there ever since.

Meh, you can only get going so fast out there and it's a public road. Seems like I find myself behind a Harley Davidson "conquering" the road @ 5mph around corners and refusing to use pull offs.

I've found the key is to hit it exactly at dawn. No one else is dumb enough to be awake and on the road at that time...

Early morning is the best time. The only problem is that the road is cold and damp. You have to be extra careful with the loud pedal.

The best time is to drive it before Zdayz starts. Hmmm, Nope, I'm wrong. The BEST time is to drive it before Zdayz at dawn.
