There are a ****-ton of great roads up there. I also enjoy parts of 129 that are SE of the tail (near Franklin, I think). I'd pull up a map on google I know it will crash my browser. Lots of curves but faster. Also the road that goes by Fontana Lake - I can't remember if this is the lead-up to the Tail or the one that is sort of parallel to it. I grew up in Atlanta and used to take my Fiat and SE-R up there before I moved to Boring Flatland.
Do you have a route planned through the midwest? I picked my Targa up in Atlanta last summer and drove it home. I wanted to go all the way up the Appalachians to WV (or even to the Pittsburgh Vintage GP) and then east through there through the Hocking Hills, but didn't have the time to do that. No problem finding nice roads up to about Nashville and western KY, but after that it's pretty slim pickings until you get to WI. If you're going up IN, you can at take US 41, which is not adriving road but at least more interesting than I-65.
If you are feeling ambitious and have a lot of time, you can drive up the lower peninsula of MI, across Big Mac and then across the UP, which would be fabulous, though it is probably too early in the year to do that.
