Ok guys, if I had thought of this before I would have posted a few days ago, but my buddy and I are in town and we are renting an Elise for the afternoon. Wanted to know if you could suggest a fun loop to do with some great twisties and scenery?

We have a mileage cap of 100miles, but we can front the 50cents per extra mile if the run is worth it. We pick up the car at 2pm, anything between now and then is appreciated.

P.S. google maps are always appreciated

The Gold Butte road looks like fun, though I've never driven there before. Best I can do is this on short notice...hope this helps!

 

closest would be red rock loop, never drove it but everyone said it not bad.

 

ok, we decided to do a loop up to Valley of Fire, then down rt167 to rt147. I'll let you know how it is with pics and stuff. Excited to see how the Elise drives also.

 

cool! Yeah valley of fire is nice as well as red rock. Have fun, that car is a blast to drive!

 

Just a short follow up. The car was amazing to drive, not as comfortable or as elegant as the S2K, but a blast to drive through the fantastic roads in Valley of Fire. The huge downside however, was the insane amount of rocks and dust in the road on the way to Valley of Fire park. At one point we hit some rocks in the middle of the road and they sprayed up like water from a puddle. Needless to say that put a little dent in the wallet due to some chipping on the lower portion of the front bumper, but all in all the drive was magnificent. Nothing like flying through a banked downhill corner at over 90mph with some of the most amazing scenery I've seen this side of the Pacific.

 

i think mt. charleston has a few trees you can swing by.
