This article on Autoblog started me thinking. What are the best driving roads for a Mustang in your state (not just scenic, but curvy)?

I do not know many in Michigan but one of the best is M-119 from Harbor Springs to Cross Village, although it is more scenic than sporty/curvy.

Not many in Minnesota...I know that. šŸ˜†
SW Wisconsin is where we generally head to for some twisty fun.
I do take several motorcycle trips down to Arkansas each year. The Ozarks are the best!

Last I heard, there are a few in California.

No longer really have a cruise car, but there's a fantastic run in San Diego where you go from a 4000ft+ mountain in Julian to the bottom of Borrego Springs. The road is cut in a way that you get a more than generous lookahead and then some, so if you're prepped, you can Pikes Peak Jr it both up and down. There are plenty of roads in that region, and depending on the time of the year, you can see a few cars in trashbaggies putting in some miles and/or torture testing, enjoying the very, very lightly policed area.

The Pacific Coast Highway from San Diego to San Francisco is also a really nice drive, moreso if you've got plenty of sunscreen and a convertible.

Pretty much anywhere in the north Georgia mountains. Of course those roads all blend into Tennessee and North Carolina. I love the Dragon. Then there's the road from Cherokee to Pigeon Forge too with the side trip up the mountain along the way. That was fun, went from a top down spring day to snowing at the top.
Colorado has some good roads too. One of my favorites is the road from the highway to Black Hawk. Would have loved to have the convertible that day instead of the crappy rental SUV. Gorgeous scenery and amazing curves.

There is plenty of PCH you want to skip as well.

In Texas it's the "Twisted Sisters" near Leakey in the Texas Hill Country. Not close to where I live but worth it at least once a year. Here is some dashcam vid from February's trip. It looks nicer when sunny but we had poor weather. Still a lot of fun, though.

Well i'm in tennessee so it's required I mention the dragon. The cherohala skyway is nice also, but the leads to the dragon also. I found that 68 from telico plains to turtletown is a nice ride if you don't get caught behind anyone. I have a few roads here I run regularly that are not very long but are nice lil rides.

For sure. Our roads are nothing but hills and curves... unfortunately you're afraid to go very fast on the few unpopulated roads because they are guarded day and night by crater-sized potholes and deer running across the road just as you approach.
