It's on par for corners with National park but
National park road more well Dangerous and at night it has more of the history for Roos and other things that jump out of know where. But I like it better for driving as it's corners are more blind.

THe old Pacific stars well really just after Hornsby after the turn off to the main Freeway (F3). (Sydney Australia for those who thinking US only )
National park Road starts just straight off the main road south just after Loftus.
A good sign is you cross the Tramway level crossing the next turn off left is down the National park road tell the person in the both just driving through, and now you have 3 things to watch for Slower cars (great to pass) Unsean cars and blind corners.

National park is a great cruise because you get an enjoying ride down to stanwell tops then you get a great view, Thne you get to travel alng soem interesting road no as fun as before due to a clif face on oneside, plus alot more local traffic but the View to the Gong (Wollongong that is ) You don't get as many bikes on this road as on the Pacific Highway up north.

Pacific Highway section between Berowra (10min north of Hornsby ) to Gosford is quite good motorbikes loves it due to it haveing more sweeping curves and a more relaxed but still enjoyable run. It does not put up as much of a challenge for a drvier as soem places on the National park road but does do so if you are will to break the speed limt, National park some places you don't even need to be speeding to fidn you self turning in some real tight close left and rights.

Both roads are great. IN alot of cases they fill the loacl run/track for loacls of the north and south.

But Sydney as alot of other raods like Putty road north of Windsor, let me just say I have a scar on my head from being in freinds car after he rolled it. Lucky being a 10second rotor it had a cage.

I sugest if you have never gone on any of these road when you do don't be a HERO and think you can master it reall easy lear n the road before you try getting through the whole thing in 20mins.

I note not all cars will go as quick remember even cars with less power may beat othewr quikcer cars (thats in a straight line) I note the RODHOG's Wagon left a number of Mx-6 V6's behind on National park, not due to the car but more due to the driver.
