Two roads come to mind:
1 Haleakala Hwy on the island of Maui from sea level to 10,000 feet, twisty all the way.
2 Hwy 1 California (pacific coast highway) from Morro Bay to Pebble Beach,

Both hard to beat and very lightly patrolled.

+1 on the PCH.
I was in LA in the summer of 1988 and drove the PCH from Malibu to Dana Point. The high point of a very memorable trip.

I'll recommend the PCH (CA hwy 1) as well. Haven't had the boxster there yet, but I have experienced Carmel to Morro Bay many times on 2 wheels. Naciemento/Fergeson Road about 20 miles south of Big Sur just adds to the fun. it is about 14 miles from Hwy 1 to the back gate of Fort Hunter Ligget. The trip up (eastbound) is spectacular, the trip back down with the Pacific Ocean laid out in front of you is absolutely amazing! Get the eastbound trip early enough in the morning when the coastal fog is still in, and it looks like somebody took a huge scoop of marshmallow fluff and just spread it out up to meet the mountain tops jutting out of it.

There are roads in the Caliifornia Sierras that are spectacular, but they are just finished much quicker than that cruise down or back up the PCH.

The A13 / A22 between Innsbruck and Merano for the curves tunnels and views, the A9 South of Leipzig when the speed is unrestricted and the trucks get out of the way! Maxed out my C Class rental car on that road!

You haven't driven great roads till you have competed in Targa Tasmania ( Australia.)
Five days of closed roads along with great camaraderie . Many international competitors.

Road to Hana is great if not crowded & you can keep your eyes on the road!
