I've driven down the Great Ocean Road up to the 12 Apostles but not in a Ferrari though. In a rented Mitsubishi saloon. :) Yes it would be a nice drive in a Ferrari, especially the road through the forest reserve. However Australia is not the place to break the speed limit because the cops will be on your back before you can reach home. A firend of mine tried to run from the cops when driving his 360 in the Perth outback and the Police hunted him down in a helicopter when they failed to chase him in their cars. The helicopter landed on the road and the officers had their rifles drawn, waiting for him.

For me the great Ferrari drives would be the route that has the most tunnels. The aural ectacy is what seperates the Ferrari from other sports cars. As for the Stelvio Pass, do it only in the late model Ferraris. Because the 80s and early 90s models can be scary when driven at speeds down the mountain, unless it's like a Sunday drive. First of all the brakes in the older models are not adequate. They fade very fast. Secondly the roadholding are not on par with the mid-90s models onwards. Istead of enjoying the drive you'd be sweating cold sweats.

Sorry for my frank views.

South Africa - The drive from Cape Town down the coast along the Indian Ocean to Cape of Good Hope and back via the coast road along the Pacific Ocean must rate one of the most scenic in the world.

I did that once in 1999 and again in December last year. The road is first class and the view is spectacular. You have to include this in your list. It's better than the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australian
