Well, when we first saw this 20+ years ago, we counted the gears and watch the hand on ol boite vitesse and that car was 'full wellie" in top gear.
I think hitting two brick and concrete posts or even wood posts at plein pot would hurt like hell.

Dear God is right, not sure I would like to thread the needle between the post at that speed after hitting the wall.

In the long run reality always wins.

For me it is always nice to see that I would never be a WRC champion, I simpily will not drive that fast. I might be faster than most but not willing to go the extra little bit in a car to be fastest.

Now on a sailboat in storms conditions, you bet.
