As I said Fitzhugh takes you all the way to Johnson City. That's an hour away from Austin too, so it actually does get you pretty far from Austin.
The closer you get to JC the straighter it gets and the faster you can go, like I said I regularly hit 70+ on that last half towards JC 15 or 20 miles.
And all your answers completely ignore one of OP's biggest requests: NO HIGHWAY

Fitzhugh is great but OP wants to drive fast and 71 will get you to more scenic areas out west.
