This certainly won't be sanctioned or condoned attempts at setting land speed records. Some of the roads are quite rural with 55mph limits and if you try to carry 55mph through a corner, you'll be in a ditch. You won't find me doing triple digit blasts or driving past my field of vision / recklessly (wrecklessly!).
Having done a lot of rallys, my guiding principles for myslef are:
- I must be able to stop the car up to my field of vision in an emergency
- If I'm following someone, I must be able to stop my car if they hit a deer (for example) without hitting them
- I won't blindly/foolishly send it thru a corner that I can't see thru to the other side (and those kind of corners are common in the mountains, as you know)
- I won't rip it through someone's neighborhood with their kids on the front yard
- pure speed is best reserved for the racetrack under controlled conditions
- I love my M3 and its never wrecked, perfectly straight chassis
- I like living very much and will do no harm to others
All that said, it's an M3 on a backroad and it's certainly within the realm of possibilty that the driving could get spirited. But I drive within my talent level and my car's capability. No one will be dropped from the group if they are driving more conservatively in the back.
Mayan-Viking - accurate? Would you provide a different perspective?
