This is the final part (14 miles long) of my usual weekend trip between my two houses. But I live in Italy so it isn't a fair challenge for you.



Anybody wants to move in? Really, I feel bad for most of you americans...

Near by I have The Triple Nickel (OH Rt 555), and there are numerous fun and twisty roads in the US. They're just hard to find.

That said, I would LOVE to spend a driving vacation through Europe finding all the great roads and tracks.

Im actually going to start taking that route to start dodging traffic a little bit more. If you do see me be sure to flash!

I must also ask, what exactly are you planning?

if you feel the need to speed I recommend going to Hallett. At least it's an actual race track, and you can speed as much as you want.

if you were planning on simply enjoying the roads, then disregard the above statement. but if you're planning on speeding, then please just take it to Hallett and keep it off the street.
I agree with your statement to a degree, some without any tracks near by (and even those WITH tracks near by) will obviously speed a little to enjoy the car as long as you are doing so responsibly and keeping an eye out for traffic (and the law lol!) I don't see any problem with that, but again as long as you arent being an idiot and pushing you car to the limits in busy areas.

There is a reason muscle cars exist. If you have no turns or won't be going out of your way to find them then might as well get a car that is fun in a straight line or a car that gets infinity MPG and feels like you are sitting on the couch.

And just a friendly reminder before anyone visits these twisties in their new ft86. that motorcycleroads site is a good place to find new roads.

I like that my home road isn't on those sites though, its all mine.

There's a road from Holbrook to Phoenix Arizona that goes through the mountains and it is full of high speed turns. The roads are in good shape and the speed limits are high. I've driven it 3 times and it always put a huge smile on my face! The view is amazing too.
