I like drag racing, as kid, young adult. I also liked running the old moonshiner routes in Tn, up and down on good roads but no traffic. There were still some cabins, with dirt floors, in sixties. A SS396/402 with better cam 180 mph some stretches. It was as close as it came to hedge hopping, in Huey. As far as I know there are no real road courses in the US. Road Atlanta was way too short to qualify. We should have in the US long long road course where vehicles like the old Mclaren Chevys and others could let it all out. There are no courses suitable for the Porshes, Ferraris, MBs, and others but there are sure are lot of these cars in in Tn Ga and Fla and all around. In Florida Lambos practically outnumber Corollas, in some places. The C63 likes it around 150 -170mph and could wind out on proper road courses to 200. Of course race tuned and built cars would easily surpass NASCAR detuned or choked engines. Different classes. So you youngins that want to go fast could put in a roll cage, headers etc and go racing, like we did, when we were young, and NASCAR was a sport anyone could get into. They really did drive their cars, used during the week, on the tracks.Different classes of course.

Do one lap of America. You'll get some speed out on those tracks.

So you must be the only guy in the states with a 96er that will turn 8K +
You must have owned a main bearing factory

There are lots of road courses in the US. And the purpose of a road course is to allow you to drive and leverage the handling of your car. They all feature straights that enable our cars to go 130 - 160 mph, before requiring to brake and turn.
If you just want to go 200 mph, go to an oval. Also plenty of choices there.

I was disappointed when I came back to the US after a few years in Europe, and also thought that my choices were slim. But there are hundreds of road courses in the US. And to be fair, most in the US are short compared to tracks in Europe, but I can rattle off at least 10 in the Eastern US alone that are 3-4 miles long, which is plenty long enough to let these big AMGs let their legs out a bit and get well up in the triple-digits. You just may have to drive a bit:
Watkins Glen
Virginia International Raceway
NJMP
Pocono
Lime Rock Park
Sebring
Road Atlanta
Daytona
Summit Point
NCM
Barber
Mid-Ohio
Road America
Monticello
Palmer
Thompson
NY Test Track

I did Watkins in my 911 turbo and was boogyin'!!! So much fun

There's plenty of places to go in the US. If they are fast enough for professional race machines, especially MotoGP and Formula 1, they are fast enough for a C63... I've driven the majority of the better tracks on the east coast and they have plenty to offer when it comes to speed and overall performance extraction of a vehicle...

I loved Lime rock park everytime I went with past cars because it is a technical track, short and not a very top end track. With skill though it can be "fast". I had fun there. I am curious to how the AMG will do.
