i like stanley park for just cruising along with a friend or something. if you're talking about a road that's more like a racetrack, then i don't know. stanley park would probably suit your purpose for that too, i've been there a few times and never seen any cops there. i wouldn't be surprised if they went and did a round of two every so often though, to catch people making babies or ripping around the circle

Stanley park is crap unless your racing around in a dune buggy. Lots of elevation changes easily bottom out your suspension, not to mention the potholes.

Sumas mountain road is an unbelievable drive, lots of elevation changes and tight cornering. Going any faster than 80 is extremely difficult in most sections even with my heavily modded suspension, never seen a cop either. Typically its pretty deserted.

Lots of good driving roads, but you need to get out of the Vancouver area to find 'em. Most tend to be towards Whistler or Eastwards towards Harrison and Hope. You just need to know where to look.

Old Dewdney Trunk is a pretty drive (Maple Ridge through Stave Lake). All the times I've driven through there I've enjoyed it.

sea 2 sky has been one of my favourites during summer when we hit up the chief, just hope that there aren't that many cars on the road,
drive back is usually awesome since the sun starts to set too

west vancouver, part of the british properties.
take the exit for 21st street and turn right on west hill.
Go up. Enjoy, then go back down, and enjoy.
its a nice curvy road. Nothing to go crazy on, but for me it makes a nice spirited drive home.
as others mentioned: cypress bowl & sea to sky are also great drives
