Western NC has so many nice roads it's hard to choose. Here is a few picked at random.

I think it was PC originally, to name the battle field after the losing, incompetent commander.

Wow, great response. I'll have to make a chart showing where theses roads are, so I can do sections of them when I'm in those areas. Seeing all that smooth asphalt makes me realize how rough we have it here in Maine.
Any more??

Mt. Tamalpais
Here's another one I hit on the way home from the Snowball Rally this weekend (BTW: lots of great roads in the Sierras): The road up to Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County. The road is amazing - often used for car commericals - but on a nice day like we had yesterday, the view from the summit is the bonus for weaving your way to the top

I haven't been on it in a GTV since the summer of 1969, but I still remember the Cabot Trail, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

I remember reading an article in Road & Track about the favorite roads of some famous drivers. I think it was Phil Hill who liked HWY 198 between Coalinga, CA and US 101. I've driven it in a Ford Galaxie, but not in my Alfa yet. I also highly recommend this road!
I also agree with sfalfa about Sierran roads. The stretch of HWY 49 between Mariposa and Coulterville is fantastic!

I can't post some pics but this set of straights and twisties is only a few minutes from home. 
Google Maps onto -U B C Vancouver- and the arial views are good and Marine Drive goes along the top of the bluff above the famous "Wreck Beach" -- a nude beach.
