What's your favorite twisty road? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I can vouch for Nestucca Valley Road. Did that on Saturday. So little traffic, so much fun...
That site is missing the McKenzie Pass Hwy (OR 242). It's only open 3 months of the year and you would have to be insane to hold the speed limit all the way through.

I'm a big fan of 223 from Wren to Dallas... Lots of twisties including a couple posted at 15mph, lots of up and down too. Great drive coming home from visiting my family in Philomath

That'll probably be my first drive with the BRZ. Pick it up in McMinnville and head south down 99W and 223.

Fun twisty roads are great but eventually you might ask yourself; "Self, I want to go faster and I'm tired of all these speeding tickets... what should I do?"

Well...

Are you in Oregon? Here's a fun video of ORP with some great backroads in central oregon:

Are you in Olympia? Here's brand new race track that JUST opened this year in Shelton:

You might say those are "twisty roads"

I just took mine up Coburg Rd and across McKenzie View to Camp Creek to the highway. It was AWESOME. This car didn't bat an eye, even at..."significant" speeds

Didn't know about that sharp switchback right after the fire station though...only time I had to brake, scared the hell out of myself! :P Back roads around here on a sunny day are the best.

OR 242 - McKenzie Pass Highway
It is freakishly fun just to try to hold the speed limit...oh...and the pass itself has a lookout tower made from lava rock that has views of the central OR Cascade peaks and there's a five mile section through a huge lava field.

It's only open about three months of the year.
