Great driving roads

Dragonman4 · 03-02-2008, 06:53 PM

I figured I'd start one of these since we don't really have one. Feel free to add. After all, we have sports cars, why not enjoy driving them?

around here in Philly, one of the better ones I know of are:
Lincoln Drive off 76 - when there's no traffic
Emlen Road off of Lincoln Drive

In the upper NJ area near Madison
Loantaka Way (SR 636) - this road is fantastic, and it stretches for a good 15 or so miles

You are the first and only person to say Lincoln Drive is a great road... Seriously, my car almost fell into a pothole.

Dude, what are you doing tomorrow around 4 PM? If you aren't busy, PM me, and I'll show you some awesome roads. Or I'll take you for a great drive this coming Sunday if you are free.

If you want speed, 95 north out of philly once you get into the open area is great. I was actually messing around w/ a black E92 335I on my way up to Madison Friday afternoon, dunno if it was anyone here. He came up behind me while I was cruising behind some traffic and we decided to play around for a bit. Got it up to 140. I was in 6th gear the whole time lol, but man it still pulls pretty well in 6th.

I have seen some minor potholes in lincoln dr, but nothing I couldn't avoid. Only problem that I see with lincoln road is traffic. My schedule for the weekdays is like 6am to 6pm lol. But lemme know where you think I should go. This coming Sunday may be an option actually. Maybe we should organize a small mini-meet and go for a cruise.

Sounds good

In PA, 422 on a weekend afternoon for long stretches w/rarely any cops. Had some fun w/a Camaro SS yesterday. Rt. 23W after Phoenixville all the way to Morgantown is good for some fun in the 'country'. White lines are everywhere though so be careful. Rt. 29/State Rd. from Phx. to Malvern is a lot of fun if you're looking for some turns.

Not much in NJ, except 287 I guess. But I always see cops around so I try and take it easy. I think they use laser around 287 in the summer.

Dragonman4 · 03-03-2008, 08:52 PM

Where do you wanna meet ferrari? Let's try to make a small meet out of it.

nah, 309 is teh suck. I dunno why you guys don't like Lincoln drive. The bit right before you hook onto 76 is full of twisties.

True... but it's also filled with potholes and the lanes are too narrow. God forbid a hummer or any SUV are next to you...Good luck passing them.

I'm also up for a drive around the burbs if anyone knows some good routes! I'm located near ft. washington

The potholes can be easily dodged, adding more to the fun. Yea while there's traffic that road sucks, but when there isn't, say coming back from a night out on the town in Philly at 1-2am, it's fun as hell.

I started a thread for a possible mini-meet this sunday to go find some good roads.

Guys, try providence rd. It's around ridley creek state park. Drives around that park are thru the woods and is spooky. Best part is, if you drive on the providence rd on higher speed, you will be in the air, like a rollr coaster.

I've caught air by accident on Goshen Rd.

Route 18 at about 8 in the morning, at the speed that traffic views, you can get a great look at every single store.

You are so cruel. I am very interested now. What's traffic like? Is it residential? Speed limit? Police presence?
