Default Fun roads in southern Michigan?

I'm looking for some nice twisty roads in southern Michigan to drive on.
I still like to go for a drive just for fun from time to time
in spite of the gas prices. Northwest Indiana (where I live) does not have much.
So, I was hoping southern Michigan may have a little more to offer.
Does anyone know of any fun roads in that area?
Thanks.

WOW, if you look at that course it kind of looks like the Suzuka Racing circuit in Japan! LOL
Very nice find, i know the roads out that way sure do get curvy.

Thanks for the detailed map. That looks like a fun loop.
I guess I should have realized the there were some nice roads around the Ann Arbor area
since Car and Driver does some of their road testing around there.
I might have to give that a try sometime. It's about a three hour drive for
me to get to that area. But I don't mind that day trip.

Having said that ... does anyone know any similar loops a little further west?

Also ... Are you guys planning any group drives in that area?
I may join you if you do. And who knows ... I may be able to convince a couple
more Hoosier S2k owners to join me.

We'll have to give some thought to the group drive idea, I'm certainly not against it and that route is very close to me.


I'm quite certain there are some good roads around the Kalamazoo area and closer to the lake, but as to a specific route, I have no clue. It might be worth investigating this in more detail.

Well, I might have to go exploring sometime.

Let me know if you ever wanna go hit up Plymouth-Goshen Trail. It's seriously five minute drive for me and I have another friend with an S that would go. I'm also up for a group drive sometime.

Call DERF, he lives near Kalamazoo, and I am sure he knows the good roads.
