Default Orlando, FL - Fun Driving Roads?

Can anybody recommend some fun driving roads to open up the Vette? I’ve been trying to find info for doing some spirited driving and all I’ve found is,

Port Orange area, Pioneer Trail, off of 44.
Somewhere back in Oviedo, but that was old info so I don’t know where there is out there for long curvy stretches.
Maybe going towards Christmas or Wedgewood?

Sugar Loaf I used to ride when I was into crotch rockets.

Any other ideas for an early Saturday or Sunday?

There is not much in O-Town anymore, unless you like riding on Death Race 2018 - aka the I4 Ultimiate Death Match Unimprovmenent Project where at least one fatal accident a week occurs. But you will destroy your Corvette's suspension with the tank traps there. Don't mind the 3 sets of lane markers on that road - you just gotta guess and hope the person next to you does not smash into you. I particular like the one that if you follow the right set it will lead head on to a nice concrete barrier! SMASH! Then the RoadRa(n)ge(r) scrapers come and peel your remains off the slab to mail back to your family.

And let's not forget the 10 minute lights at every intersection that help make sure you hit every single red light, while making sure no traffic passes through any intersection. My vette average speed shows as 20 MPH. The county appreciated the extra gas tax revenue burning up the streets.

And if you do my any luck happen to find a stretch of any road with no traffic or lights, well it is your lucky day as the Mosquito County revenue collectors LEO will appreciate your donation to the local political corruption fund.
