Great driving roads in California!
As Camaro owners, I'm sure we can all appreciate some spirited driving. Whether you have a track monster Z/28 or a ten second ZL1, it's always nice to have a twisty road all to yourself. So I thought it would be cool to start a thread where we can all share a nice road we like with fellow Camaro owners. Maybe some of you will even go on drives with other camaro5 members in your area! Please list the city, the street, and tell us a bit about the road. I'll go first
Bakersfield, California Bena road I like to start this drive by getting on the 58 and taking it to the 223 and making your first right onto Bena. This is a gorgeous road with no traffic. It has long sweeping turns and awesome straights. I stay on Bena until it turns into Edison highway, and I make a right on Comanche drive. From there I make my way over to Hart Park (Which is stunning). That's my favorite road in the area! Everyone feel free to share your favorites |

Ventura County has 2 that I used to drive all of the time. Potrero Road starts in Westlake Village, goes through Hidden Valley (where 1000 movies have been filmed) with twisties on both ends, has a short populated section in Newbury Park (which is the SW end of Thousand Oaks), and then a seriously steep twisty section down to the Oxnard Plain by Round Mountain and the 4-year college.
Highway 33 north of Ojai, north of Ventura, climbs up a twisty mountain that motorcycles usually race on, 2 feet on your side of the double-yellow line. Head north to Lockwood Valley Road, and either turn around, or take Lockwood Valley east to Frazier Park. Lockwood Valley road dips through many flash-flood washes, and many have small streams flowing across the road all of the time. When the road turns to the NE, there are neat mountains in the west where single trees grow alone every few yards way up near the tops. They look like they were planted in a pattern, but they are natural.

Angeles forest highway from Pear Blossom to either LaCanada/Flintridge or jump on Big Tujunga Canyon and end up in Sunland/Tujunga. Also highway 2 from LaCanada/Flintridge to highway 138 just west of I-15 Cajon Pass.

Highway 88 over the Carson pass in Amador county, and Hwy 26 in Calaveras county. Great roads if you can avoid traffic
