That looks like a fun drive.

Road Atlanta, Road America, Willow Springs, Virginia International Raceway.......come on guys! If you want to drive the Boxsters for what they are and the speeds they will EASILY achieve, do it on a track.

You don't have to be on a track to safely enjoy a convertible sports car.

Just came back from Deal's Gap (tail of the dragon) lastnight. I must say, it was intense. I'm a little bit dissapointed by the speed limit (30mph) but other than that, those are the curviest twists and turns that I've ever been in. even at 30mph the 11 miles and 318 twists/turns feels like a 2 minute ride.

Rt.14 from Trout Run, Pa. (north of Williamsport) to Watkins Glen, NY.
When I bought my Boxster this was the first road that came to mind. Summer and Fall are the best times, FWIW.
Two lane smooth blacktop, almost no police, and scenery that never fails to amaze.

Washington HWY 20 is an amazing drive. Avoid the weekends and you'll have big stretches of the road to yourself. Alpine scenery, beautiful lakes, and a great zing-zag up'ndown drive.
Closed in winter due to elevation and local snowfall, so plan a summer or early fall trip and you won't be dissapointed !

The best Boxster road is the one I'm driving at the time.
