Most cropduster biplanes cruise at around 60-70 mph by design, so once you're up over twice that speed on the ground, you know things can quickly get "problematic".
I don't look at my Z as a plane without wings. I like its maneuverability and quick reflexes. I like the way I can launch right up to the speed limit while most cars are still getting through the traffic light.
But I'm a few cars past the time when I'd treat a 3-lane roadway like a set of moving traffic pylons. Nowadays, at most when I'm in traffic, I'll zoom some lamer in the passing lane, then clean off his windshield for him with my spray. (Some kids in the Acura forum spoke about tossing pennies up through the moonroof, but to me that's criminal mischief).
The nicest thing about having a car so much better than most on the road is ... I don't feel the need to prove it. And getting to a destination ten minutes quicker just means that much less time spent in, and enjoying, the car.
