Roads/Routes to Drive your BRZ/FR-s - SoCal - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

MF_DEUCE · 04-10-2012, 03:15 AM

So, i noticed the NorCal guys had their own thread for roads/routes to drive on. Anyone have any good roads they would suggest or have driven on in the SoCal area that you plan driving your future FRS/BRZ on?

Only ones I know of are:

- Turnbull Canyon Road (Whittier/Hacienda Heights)
- Glendora Mountain Road (Glendora)
- Malibu Canyon Road (Malibu)

All of those are cop infested, but fun

I know quite a few roads in the SD area too, but you pretty much summed up LA/OC.

There's also Angeles Crest Highway.

Happy to see a socal one started

. I'm around the area once in a while when visiting friends. I've driven around the Santiago Canyon Rd. when I was in Irvine last summer, really fun road. Somebody posted a nice route that chained it with the PCH here:

Angels' crest is cop-fested.

There's a rather easy one in San Juan Capistrano (Ortega).

Azuza at night + detector

And there's one more I can't seem to remember... :l

Thanks for the thread!

I know Malibu is cop infested, but I still enjoy a cruise up PCH now and then. Just can't beat the ocean view! Just north of Malibu and just south of Oxnard is a great area to open her up too.

I live really close to Turnbull so I'll probably go there first. I don't care for it too much, because it's too narrow and there are just too many blind turns for me, but I guess that's the point?

I'm just not 18 anymore and know what fear is now...

I would love to go to a meet from like Elsinore to Dana Point. Heck, I'll go by myself once I get the car, lol.

I agree with the road to ojai. Or, that windy road I took once for work from LA to Fillmore(near magic mountain). It was very windy (wine-dee) though, so you could only go like 40mph tops before it got hella scary.!
