Yeah a lot of saints and halos here. 600hp cars under 80 all the time. Sure.
Exactly, lol. Come look at where I live and drive my roads before you judge me. I live in BFE Oklahoma, plenty of open roads and no heavy traffic. I worry more about armadillos and deer, never put my passengers or other drivers in danger. I just got back from going with my daughter to a Mini Cooper rally on the Dragon’s Tail. If y’all want to see nutty *** drivers go on that 11 mile road with 318 turns. Only wish I’d had taken my car out there, lol.
I was going to comment this as well. OP states he lives way out in the country and the people judging him are all describing trafficky city driving while talking about how they'd never speed like that on "public roads." Amazes me how someone could be so quick to "condemn" a person they have no idea about and whose situation and perspective in life is so different from their own. Then again, I might be jealous too if I lived somewhere that was at least six hours in traffic from any kind of solitude whatsoever...
Almost hit a gator going 150 once -- absolutely terrifying! He/she was the only one on the road, though.

Love the Tail of the dragon and would ride it on my motorcycles at least once a year, if you ever get back to that area go to the Cherahala Skyway, its an absolutely incredible 43 mile run with fast sweepers rather than tight hairpins.

They're still public roads, right? Still the chance for pedestrians, cyclists, inattentive drivers, etc, and regularly going double the posted limit is unsafe, no matter how right or wrong you or anyone else thinks it is. That said, I think only one person actually condemned the OP, and a few people stated that they don't personally care to drive in that manner on public roads... Yet a bunch of folks got all twisted up over the comments.
We get it, some folks like to regularly endanger others on public roads, not sure why the need to get defensive about it.

This is called the strawman fallacy. The entire point of my post was that some of us have access to roads where we can endanger no one but ourselves. And if by "chance for pedestrians, etc" you mean one can't see well enough in sight or mind to choose a spot where the chances are higher that you'll see (or maybe not see?) an alligator then yes I agree 100% you should not be speeding.
Anyway to you as well, and I hope everyone is having a very nice day and enjoying being some of the lucky enough *******s to own these wonderful cars!
DAMN I LOVE THIS CAR!
PS the Smokies (Dragon's Tail etc) were some of the best driving roads I have ever seen

And my point was that if they are public roads, that are not somehow restricted to public access, then there is always the chance of endangering other people when using them as personal track events, more so when done "regularly".
