I have been on a few of those roads, but not in the FRS. Some of those choices seemed to be based more on how scenic they are, but that doesn't always mean thrilling.

The big problem is usually speed limit/congestion on many of these roads. For example, Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park would be amazing/terrifying/thrilling if you could blast up it as fast as possible, but that would never happen. In fact many National Park roads are amazing, but they all have low speed limits and massive RV's clogging the roads.

Personally, I would put the Taconic Parkway in NY, I have been on that in the FRS. It's like a roller coaster and insanely narrow for the traffic you can encounter on it (it is fairly scenic too). In addition, the speed limit says 55mph, but during rush hour I challenge you to find anyone going under 75.
