What's your favorite back road to take your rx7 on?

Here is a video of my favorite one locally. Tell me what yours is because I would like to take a road trip and visit great roads around the country.

The road that goes to my work has a nice little S-curve that I really enjoy taking at speed.

We have this awesome back road that goes right by my wife's grandparents farm that I like to rip through pretty quickly. First time I rode in an FD was on this road, that's when I knew I would eventually own one.

Man that car sounds awesome. Would like some details on engine and carb set-up. Curious what mount you are using as well for camera. I have a HERO5 and cannot get nearly that sound quality. Might be that I am running a RB street port exhaust instead of straight pipes.

My engine is only stockport 12A with "fat Nikki" carb.

Thanks for video. I live in southern Indiana, pretty good driving roads near where I live.

Does it take 13mins to travel?

Over in Vancouver, WA I have a good loop with one of the best roads I've found in the area. Like the perfect 30mph corners where you can haul but not get a speeding ticket...

BC Sea to Sky Highway

The part from Squamish to Whistler at about 7:00 pm or later on a clear mid-week summer night.


Then from Whistler through the Duffey Lake loop. (See this month's Road and Track.)


You Tube : RX7 chases Lambos North Of Whistler.

Back when I was down in CA I used to take this road everyday from work to class. Back and forth curves uphill until the peak and then sweepers all the way back down. Bonus was popping out right in front of Laguna Seca. Pretty much any day after sunset you could just park on the side and watch people rip up it.
