I have fond memories of topping out my first E46 M3 on the Ocean straight shot to Captree for the meets back in the day. I found it remarkable how well the car handled the crazy undulations in the second half - started to understand firsthand the merits of good aerodynamics and downforce. It became more glued to the road the faster the car went. Hope to do it again one day in the G82 (or any car).
That road has gotten beaten up over the years. My F80 CS could only handle 144 and then the road imperfections would cause the car to start to lose control. I'm 39. Back when I had a 1999 VW Passat Ocean Pkwy was the first place I hit triple digits.
