Looking for a good road
I live in Knoxville, TN but I'm down here in Tampa for the rest of the month. I plan to rent an Elise for a day while I'm here.
Would anyone be able to recommend a fun route to take for my joyride? I'm trying to keep it under 100 miles in total, and I'm staying in South Tampa. So far, all I see are right angles and tons of traffic. I'd like to find a few curves that are lightly traveled.
Thanks in advance.

Im a nube to the S2K world. (I am absolutely loving it) I agree that Ehren Cutoff is a great road to satisfy your need for the twisties and I highly recommend to do a U-turn and do it all over again. 
It also helps that I nearly drive on this road every day 
Brooksville also has plenty of roads that offer elevation changes and nice driving roads but you say your trying to limit to a 100 miles.. its your call.. Anyone interested in a meet and greet!

Friend of mine rented a Lamborghini and was overly excited just getting the car . He did not pay much attention to the contract he was signing and was shocked to find they charge 1000 per redline , it was a one day rental the ended up costing him over 30k in redlinde charges plus the rentel fee itself . Watch yourself and read the fine print .

Thanks for the comments. I'll definately scout out Ehren Cuttoff prior to rental, but it looks like a great choice. It's a shame...so many nice cars down here and so straight the roads. My home track is The Dragon.

Otherwise, there are some fun clover leaf combos in Florida to get on interstates.

atb117 are you the one I saw a week ago last sunday night, I'm the idiot that quickly crossed three lanes to turn behind you to follow on ehren. If it was, I hope I didn't freak you out, I was trying to hear your exhaust, and.... enjoy the back road with the fellow silverstone
