Default 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.

That's where many of us go to find a nice road too.

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
