SoCal driving roads

I moving to the Irvine area soon and I'm wondering if anyone has driven this road before?

Or if there's anything else near by.

I'm in Irvine too. That road isn't paved but depending on the mods you have it could be great.

Closest roads are Ortega and Glendora. Glendora is more technical but the road quality past the GRR fork is pretty bad.

I am from Long Beach and unfortunately we have no winding local roads. The terminal island freeway 103 that turns to the 47 is a fun straight that you can test top speed on a long straight leading to the ports. GMR is a bit far from Long Beach but is the closest road that will offer a long fun drive. Tujunga canyon up the 210 is a bit farther than GMR from Long Beach but its an isolated canyon that no one drives up. Tujunga has many 3rd and 4th gear corners with some hairpins as compared to GMR in which I was mainly in 2nd and 3rd gear. IMO the funnest canyon roads for the Z ranked in order are Tujunga, GMR, Topanga, Ortega, Angels Crest and Azusa Canyon road. I am a big togue fan so if I missed any roads or anyone knows of any let me know!
