Great drives...
Spent this morning brusing and crusing back roads of Greenwich Ct and it was idyllic ! No traffic, long straights, swish backs, s curves, hairpins, right left right turns, dips, quick bursts, full throttle, up shift down shift and back up, hard braking, touch braking, power slide, etc etc. Man o man did I enjoy myself. Learned alot about the car and always with complete confidence. After this run this might be the car I never sell ! Did I mention the scenery...over hanging trees, 5 to 30 acre million dollar estates all the way on both sides. Take Exit 28 on Merrit (Round Hill Road) and make a left...you will not be disappointed !

My favorite drive is route 6 across Pa. Picked by Car and Driver as one of Americas 10 best years ago. We all know about the Dragon but there are many good roads that have less traffic and great curves and elevation changes. This could become an interesting thread. There are many good Corvette roads that Forum members could share.

For those out in Arizona, taking the Apache Trail out to Canyon Lake is an incredible drive.
Also taking the Bush Highway out to the 87, take the 87 south to Shea boulevard then take Shea into Scottsdale is fun as well.

Omg, OP. . .i literally took that exact drive with my buddy Thursday night to show him the vette. GREAT piece of road as you say. Took it all the way up into mt kisko and had dinner at village social. If you've never been, check it out next time you take that drive and get the grilled cheese with braised short rib. Ridiculous. Took another drive I'd recommend today. This is our standard loop. We meet up in the Bloomingdales parking lot and shoot up 22 which is absolutely stunning! We go up to where that meets 684 and take 684 up to the saw mill and take that back down. Great mix of back roads, curves and straight highways stretches.
