I swapped vehicles with my friend at the weekend so that I could go skiing at Tahoe; my '01 93 Viggen Convertible for a Ford F150 truck. Upon returning, I heard stories of how he drove it over the Santa Cruz mountains and everyone moved over to let him pass due to the speed and cornering cababilities, even the cars that thought they were doing well round the bends.
Also try the I380 -> I280 South intersection posted at 45mph. A Lexus pulled up next to him at about 85, whilst the Lexus slowed for the bend my car was accelerated onwards, the Lexus was a dot in the rear view when my car entered I280. Funny thing was, after the cruise was resumed at 80mph a while later the Lexus caught up, drew level, and the driver was seen astonished and admiring the workmanship of the Viggen. He learnt his lesson of what a Saab can do.
