This one is way out of state...but if people want to go for a long drive it would be worth it. Head out to Connecticut, near Danbury pick up Rt. 7. It winds along the river heading up from I-84 to Lime Rock and beyond. I've done it a couple times, but not in an F body. Once I was trailing a 70 Mach I Mustang hitting speeds that would make people squirm. Problem was, sometimes you'd have to pass people on a two lane road, which in a 4 cylinder fatso of a car requires finesse in the gearbox. Nick and Larry know what I mean, I managed to keep up with them running to the Chatterbox meet LOL.
As for locally, Larry pretty much covered it, 284 heading into upstate NY is a good run too, as are 521 and 622 and a few other 600 series roads. And he is definitely right, Newbies need to follow someone who knows the area. I've had friends from out of town get lost just riding in the passenger seat with me.
