My favourite spot to really drive the 8 hard is the Old road from Janda Baik (near Genting) heading to Bentong.

Its practically empty as people do not use that road anymore.variable camber bends,sweeping left right left right and a couple of hairpins throwed at you.You can see the Karak Highway from high up.

However,dont this at night.beware of monkeys,and also alot of dead leaves.

Next would be the Fraser's Hill.No joke,the 30 min uphill/downhill slot give you thrills if you go there during working days.Just mind the barriers.

Tapah downhill from Cameron Highland is also a famous place for wannabe's..like me
steep and narrow.More Haruna rather then Irohazaka if you want to know.

If you want some Nurburgring action,then hit East/West highway from Kulim,Kedah to Grik,Perak.You can stop at Tasik Banding.

drive safe.dont tailgate so much.hope you would get lucky and get laid with a JDM wannabe during one of your trips.down with ambitious wiralutions`

Malaysia has plenty of good roads eh? Unfortunately for us poreans, the opportunities to go up country is seldom here.
Just today, I zipped down SB vista and was the only car downhill; noticed a couple of other coupes heading uphill but all caught in traffic.
Aaah...you can never win, can you?

Its so pathetic. But what to do when we are small? Anyway up north is better. Getting fined is better than losing points or hauled to court when caught in SG.

Nowadays there seem to be much more cars on the road with car prices going south.

I don't really have a fav but if there is one would be the one on route to mersing...

and the other, I probably would never get a chance would be the dragon's tail.. http://www.tailofthedragon.com/

"The Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, with 318 curves in 11 miles, is America ’s number one motorcycle and sports car road. The nearby Cherohala Skyway is quickly becoming number two with its remote 60 miles of scenic mountain highway. The area also has other roads less traveled, but just as exciting.
Come and discover them all."

Yeah, all the roads leading in and out of Mersing are really great. Somebody shud organize a drive there one day.

And if any of us is down visiting Darwin, hiring a car is a must. Just about 20km south of the city, you are greeted by the all important sign that has a black slash across a white circular background. Yez sir, that's the no speed limit sign.
But unfortnately I had my family in tow; well there's always next time....dream ON===>
