554-mile, 2-day huge loop with @C6ZBill. Only 50 of those were on Interstates. The rest was on county and state 2-lane roads.
Day 1: Hawk's Nest, Route 97 to Hancock, Tunkhannock Viaduct, Wyalusing Rocks Overlook, ended in Lewisburg to meet a friend for dinner.
The Viaduct was the largest or longest concrete structure for 50 years. Built in 1915.
Did you know Wyalusing was nearly a French aristocracy refugee camp that was supposed to include Marie Antoinette? Me either.
Day 2: Lewisburg to Centre Hall, Beaver Springs, Sunbury, Elysburg, Centralia, Route 54 to Jim Thorpe for lunch. Then 209, 248 back to 33/78.
Nothing makes you appreciate NJ like running through Schuylkill and Carbon counties in PA. Kids, are you seeing this plight?
Car ran great at some sustained, fast speeds. Very comfortable, no back pain. Tight neck and shoulders from being up on the wheel for hours at a clip. They are fun roads but not easy roads to navigate.
I think I'm pretty much spoiled for anything else at this point.

Wheels were pretty dirty from up and down the Poconos for hundreds of miles. Came clean with just car wash soap and a microfiber cloth. It's a noticeable difference with the ceramic coating on the wheels.

If want something ugly and fast, buy a Tesla.

Aren't there some Tesla owners on here?
As a former Porsche 914 owner, yes they are ugly but they handled great.

Damn you! Sent me down the rathole of learning about Girardville, population ~1500. 1/2 deserted former mining town. Median household income: $23,702. A GT3 and C6 Z06 must have attracted a fair bit of attention!

Likely to be a ghost town if the centralia mine fire gets close enough

I still want the noise doh!
That's Expert and Pro pricing these days. S-Works would buy a palace around there.
Tesla electric cars now available with V8 exhaust sound
A UK firm has invented a bolt-on exhaust system that make electric cars sound like a V8, V10 or V12.
i thought an app with earpods would do the trick, but they want everyone to hear it!

That fpc vette motor should sound insane at 9K rpm
