Scenic curved route gets my vote...and speaking of scenery, if you prefer a club afterwards, the one on 26 has a better view.

Hi Everyone,

Based on the feedback, I mapped out a route. I had some extra time yesterday, and with a few others drove the route. The route is based largely on 2-lane roads, although we do get on 65 twice for about 3 miles total. The rest of the cruise is more scenic (the best we can do for Lafayette/WL), and technical. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you have the means to change your wheel/tire combo's.

Yes, there is a part # for it but Corsa starts production next month. I could spend $3k and get a german performance exhaust put on it instead
money doesnt grow on trees @ my house unfortunately. lol

Look for a route with more curves than one with a lot of straights.
