Great choice. Some that rival that are rts 600 and 670 in Virginia. 
For that matter any of the seemingly unknown roads on either side
of the Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway.  A couple of weeks ago was
the peak of the foliage season out there.  At certain places you can
go down rt 600 and not be able to see the pavement because of all 
the fallen leaves.  It's really impressive, but don't try to fly down it.
If the leaves on the pavement don't get you, the deer will.  At night, 
you can't really go much above 20-30 mph because there are so many deer
on or near the road (avg 5-6 per mi). David Hsu mentioned that the 
East-West Cross Island Highway in Taiwan would be a great road for a
Spitfire.  I own one and (I've never been to Taiwan) this is the best
I've found.
