Not the longest but the one with the most curves. Went Sonora Pass over the Sierras to Tahoe and then back over Tioga pass through Yosemite. The only straight road was the first hour down Hwy 99 for 1 hour to start.

ABOUT 500 MILES OVER 3 DAYS

 

I LOVE TWISTIES! I definitley need to check out that route

 

Nowhere near your miles but fun anyway (how could it not be fun in a Vette?)

East Coasters: Do try this from home:

Atlantic City/Cape May/Ocean City/Williamsburg

Or, Annapolis. 2-4 to Prince Frederick; W to La Plata; 301 to Port Royal; 17 to Yorktown; W on Parkway to Williamsburg to Fox N' Grape B&B.

Myrtle Beach optional - via 17 or I-95
[17 was the old Ocean Hwy, Va to FL]
Next up Charleston/Savannah/Amelia Island/St Augustine

Daytona Beach/Orlando/Clearwater Bch
I-75 to I-10 to Perry (landmark only)

Hwy 98 from Appalachicola to Pensacola. Detour on 30A & all Beaches signs. Overnight near Destin.
I-10 in Pensacola to Biloxi's BeaRivage Casino. Next up French Quarter @ Hotel Provincial #532.

Memphis/Nashville/Bowling Green/Knoxville
I-81, then Skyline Drive to Front Royal, VA
Harpers Ferry WVA/Gettysburg/Hershey & home.

We did most of the above in my 77 Coupe years ago.
Over 3K miles in 10 days. Allow 12-14.

 

I hope it is ok to post over here on the C5 board.

My wife and I have taken a picture of our 63 under all the lower 48 state signs, Canada and Mexico.

We live in Arkansas so our two longest trips have been in the 5500 mile range.

Our first was out to The Black Hills Classic in 2000 ( we were lucky enough to win the show) and then on out through the northwest to Washington and Oregon.

Our other 5500 miler was through the north east to Portland Maine (we were able to get 14 states on that trip).

You meet the nicest people driving a vette.

Jeff, how could you not be OK w/ a 63swc?

 

From NE PA to BG with two Vettes.... Can I count that as twice the milage??

 

Did a couple of cross country trips. New Jersey to San Fran, Cali and Los Angeles, Cali to Ft Myers Fl. best time was 41 hrs 47 min. Unforunately that was not in my vette but my brothers 98 SS Camaro. Total miles was 2666 and by myself.

 

Sorry I missed you two in San Antoio. I wanted to give your passenger something. did he get the job?

I love to drive. we drive to Vegas all the time We are driving back to Vegas in two weeks (and we have only been home for about two weks from driving out there the last time) for SEMA and to meet some other forum members.

Love the Power Tour did it 8 times now and will be going again in 08 driving the 76. the 76 has been on it three times.


get that 76 out and let it go.... it will be as much fun as the c5 as long as you don't brake something, been there done that too many times to count.


everybody should take a vette down the tail of the dragon, or a ninja. I will get there one of these days

 

Florida to California, this was in my C4.
.

 

1800 miles for me. Have had my 99 Nassau blue 6 speed coupe since January and this was the first trip for me. It was fantastic ! From Ohio to the Outer Banks, NC. Then down to Wilmington, NC before coming back to Ohio.

 

Bought our car, our first Vette, in April '06 with 864 miles on it. We spent June of '06 Seeing The USA.

Florida to the NCM for the NCM Experience, sort of like a christening for the car. Then to Detroit to visit my Mom. Across Michigan to Muskegon where we caught the ferry to Milwaukee. Across the Plains to Yellowstone and Grand Teton, then out to the Pacific at Astoria. Down Highway 1 through Redwood NP, Big Sur, Muir Woods, and Morro Bay. Back up through Sequoia and Kings Canyon and over the Sierras through Yosemite. Across US50 in Nevada (our favorite part of the trip) to Great Basin. Down through Utah through Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Zion, etc. Down through Arizona to the Grand Canyon, and then south to Tucson. Across New Mexico and Texas to Carlsbad. Across to Gulfport MS to visit the Mon-in-law. And hence home.

We spent as much of the trip as possible off the Interstates, time permitting. Probably 60-70% of the mileage was non-Interstate and we drove "briskly" pretty much all the time.

Total days, 27.
Total travel days, 24.
Total states, 23.
Total mileage, just over 10,000.
Average daily mileage, about 425.
Total LEO experiences, none,
Total car problems, none.
Total National Parks & Monuments, 18
Total times flat-out, 3.
Total curves, countless.

A once-in-a-lifetime trip. We'll never forget it.

 

Now that is what I call a road trip!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Dude, I don't even have that many miles on my C5

The longest trip I've done in my C5 is 460 miles.. and it took me about 4 hours to drive it

 

Just wanted the extra Post huh~ ~ Steve

 

If I had more money, and time, I would still be on the road trip. Probably somewhere around Canada

 

When I got out of the military in '72, I took my '65 conv. on a trip around the U.S by myself. My goal was to get into every state (lower 48) that I hadn't already been in. My trip started with the Western States Corvette Council convention in California, a couple of CAN-AM races in the middle (including one in Canada) and attending the National Council of Corvette Clubs convention in Texas before returning to California. Trip took about 5 weeks and covered around 7000 miles. I have driven in all 50 states. Fantastic memories
I still own that '65 but it doesn't get driven much any more since I got the '02 Z06. Longest trip in the '02 was the 50th anniversary cruise from San Diego to Bowling Green, up to Indy, and back for a short 4900 miles. New memories being made every day.

 

That is quite an achievement. 48 states in a Corvette

 

How abt 18 Vettes in one state?

 

Just came home from 5510 mile trip. Mn to Me down to Kentucky and the plant tour. Stayed on two lane roads whenever possible. Great trip, car ran perfectly. The thing that really stood out was how comfortable the car was. '03 TR roadster, A4. And by the way, 27.4 overall.

 

when peanuts was campaigning for the white house, i drove my 72 lt-1 from st. louis, mo down through louisiana ( went through transylvania, la ) and ended up in key west coming down the west florida coast. leaving key west i drove up the east florida coast to jacksonville and headed to atlanta. headed west from atlanta to dallas-ftworth and to los angeles. out of la i headed to san francisco, salt lake city, denver and finally back to st. louis. whole trip took 2 months. i was single, no girl friend and decided i needed a long over due vacation and have no idea how many miles i put on the car.
