Default Favorite roads

The S2000 is for driving, no question about it. Some roads are more fun then others. Some roads just beg to be driven hard and fast. What are your favorites (highway and backroads).

I live in Northern New Jersey and I'll start with:

Highway:
Route 24 Eastbound into Interstate 78 from Parsippany to Newark Airport (When traffic is reasonably light). Fun to dart in and out of traffic. Big sweeping turns. Lots of lane changes

Backroad:
Sussex Turnpike from Randolph to Succasunna. Lots of twisties. One lane in each direction. New challenges around each bend. Great top down driving.

Chagrin River Road east of Cleveland. It's been my favorite for decades.

That's easy. Glendora Canyon Road. Alot of magazine shoots take place there. VERY twisty roads. We would be hard pressed to get into 3rd gear on this road.

Devil's Highway AZ/NM - route 180/191. 191 has a 1000+ ft cliff on one side, a mountain on the other. Speed limit 10 mph for 30 miles. Obviously, you go faster in the this car.

From the photos I have seen of other roads across the US, I have seen nothing that compares.

www.s2000arizona.com > EVENTS > scroll down to Devil's Highway (route 191 is known as 666 due to the number of deaths). The pics of the most challenging areas aren't in the pictures section as it was tough to drive and snap photos Less than 100 miles takes up to 3.5 hours to drive, there are over 1100 curves in that distance.

Route 26 in OH from Woodsfield into Marietta and then all the way up till it meets I70. Route 800 from Cambridge into Woodsfield is also pretty fun except you have to avoid all of the cow pies in the road.
