Default Driving roads between Florida and NYC

I just purchased a GT3 down in Orlando, and I'm flying down to pick it up on Thursday 7/6. I'll have Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to do the drive home to New York and I'm trying to spend as much time as possible on fun roads.

Our midpoint stop is going to be the tail of the dragon probably on day 2, but we need a good route up through GA on the first day. Day 3 we figure we'll have the best luck finding something cutting up through West Virginia, not to mention we'll hopefully avoid those VA state troopers.

Any recommendations on the best roads are very much appreciated!

Take RT33 across the mountains of Wv. Get on it right of I81 in Va, take it all the way to Elkins. It’s a great road with little traffic on it. Huge elevation changes with sweepers and switch backs. Look on Google Earth for it. You can see how snakey it is. I’ve driven it many times with my Porsches and GT350.

Thats it. Great road. 48 all the way to Elkins is nice too. In between there are many more roads that don't really show up well on the map. I see you had a 2018 Lead foot Grey 350. I did too! Mine had sofa seats and factory stripe delete. I had the engine replaced at 6K miles, the alternator and the AC compressor twice and the rear cylinder block plate replaced too.

Ouch, you had a dud. My car was perfect, and if all my cars, and there were many, it's the one I regret selling the most at this point. I had 12k trouble free miles, 3 track events, and never a warranty trip to the dealership. I'll miss it.
