Twisty, winding roads in the GTA?

Two months into ownership and I have yet to find a road here in the GTA where it is just myself and the car where I can turn the traction control off and carve some corners.

Sure the car is fun to drive but driving to and from work everyday in traffic is not my idea of fun, I need a Sunday morning drive through some twisties. Do we even have some roads like this here in the GTA?

Good link Ian. I have done many of them and I must say you still have to drive conservatively due to other people around, but there are some great runs there.

If anyone wants to get together and check some out let me know. I know you would be in Ian if you have some free time

Thanks Ian.
I was checking some of those spots out and it is really surprising how many I have been on. One of the runs is one (Owen Sound/Wiarton) I checked out if we had a cruise up here. It's not bad but like I was telling you last year, it would be a full day up here.
I have also done most of the runs north of Peterborough and Buckhorn area.

Forks of the Credit Road is awesome for bends, scenery, hills, etc.
I give it 10/10.

Thats a fun run for sure. Is all of the construction complete on it now, It has been closed off and on for the last couple of years.

Especially going down hill into that D turn (right hander), when you're blind to where the inside curb is.
