What's your favorite 'roadster' road to drive?

[goalscore247]

Idk at times im partial to the hop on the highway, top the car out and weave traffic, then hop off a the first exit to avoid getting caught

I made a 8 hour loop in the hill country west of Austin Texas a few years ago. It was about 50/50 dirt/tarmac but there were plenty of twisties and scenery that weren't on dirt roads. I plan on going back that way someday. Here's the thread with pics from the Nasioc forums:

Well life in NE arkansas doesnt always provide the best scenery, but some of the most fun roads i drive are 358/351 ( a 20 mile strip of hills and curves) and the highway from here to Mt. Home ( Up and down big hills on a 2 lane that switches to temporary 3 lane for passing, and the race is on.)

There are some great rooutes around the upper Great Lakes. Unfortunately many of the best have been widdened and straightened. My favorite rides for the Solstice will be the same ones that I ride my V-Rod on. Twisty Town and County highways just south of Michigan border that are great for an afternoon or day run.

there are bunches of great roadster roads in WNC from the fairly sedate BRP to the downright devilish 276!.

You can also do the tail of dragon- but it's gotten waaaay to popular.

In Oregon, if you are on I-5 you can get off at Canyonville and take a back road through the mountains to Medford. or if you are going north you could just start at the other end.

Back when I was staioned in CA, I really enjoyed (first my Miata, then my Spitfire) HWY 20 from Yuba City to Truckee, south along the west side of Lake Tahoe to South Lake Tahoe then down US 50 to highway 49 back to highway 20 and home. Get the right weather and this is incredible.

Some may wonder "Why is your user name Faultline??" well.....

I live in the desert , on the backside of the Angeles Crest is Ca. outside of LA along the SanAndreas Faultline , near Pearblossom Hwy.
Everyday I take a lonely road off the main hwy , to work...along the faultline for a 10 mile jaunt
It is why I want a Soltsice.
The terrain is hilly, desert brown, with large rocks, Joshua trees and dersert scrubbs carpeting the scape. The 1st 3 miles is a straight arrow, with small traffic and NO inlets what so ever. The onlything to watch for are coyotes jack rabbits ,and of of course on coming traffic..but seldom. It is the perfect road to let any car stretch out its leggs, to see what it can do.!
After the straight , the road meanders down toward the highway again for about 6 miles. The scape is the same, the road twists and turns, inclines and declines, without view of what is around the ben. It is so much fun!
....The Solstice and I have a destiny together...and it's everyday , to and from work!! along the faultline.

I've been looking at that fault line almost every day for a month, we use satellite imagery of the Palmdale-Lancaster area in our class. I've driven Pearblossom many many times going to Vegas from the Santa Clarita Valley. I'd love it if you PM the road to me. We recently did the jaunt up Lake Hughes road, which we've also taken before to go out to Lancaster. Some nice drives in the Calif Deserts, just not at high noon

P.S. I got your username right off when I saw your location is mojave calif!

I just took a trip from Atlanta to Jamestown, KY using US-127 through all of TN. This is a great roadster road, lots of twisties and some breaks with straight farm country. Too bad I was in my Lumina, but I still managed to earn a speeding ticket on one of the straight stretches

My poor Lumina did a fine job of handling the corners, thanks to 235/55/16 tires and Performance Friction pads. Not as bad as you'd think...

I can find a few ok places, but I am sure its nothing like some of the roads you guys like to drive!

You'll just have to zip on over to the Finger Lakes.

I too love the Pacific Northwest. The Coast Highway through the Oregon Coast is awesome as is the Chuckanut Drive from Bellingham south on the Coast.

Living in British Columbia there are also some great drives such as the Sea to Sky Highway from North Vancouver up to Whistler.
