I hear that...I use I 295 around the E. side of Richmond and the entry is only a mile from where I live so getting on going N. I just leave it in third and when merging onto the three lanes heading up to the bridge over the James River the cars going on the Expressway are usually doing 75 or more and they are really surprised to see me right next to them from the on ramp and then past them before slowing. When the beast is turned on it really ramps the speedo up. One of my fav. drives is just three miles N. where I exit off onto route 5 which parallels the river's N. side twisting on a two lane all the way to Williamsburg at 55 mph and not heavily traveled. beautiful as well. I generally drive it at 62 mph in all the twisties but if I can see through a double offsetting set of curves and have them to myself I'll ramp it up and go through them like esses on a track at much higher speeds, never slow for the 45 mph corners and have taken them in the mid to high 70's without any issue at all with the Z. I can cross the river on the free Jamestown ferry then do the s. shore on route 10 home and that ride totally is about 90 miles of same road types. Can cut off and do it on an earlier bridge and do 29 miles...sort of like my fav. course and it's all local! one road crosses and I use it as a sort of drag area...2.3 miles straight with only trees, no driveways or intersections of good pretty flat two lane with shoulders. You'd be surprised how fast the Beast gets going in that first half mile! 205 feet per second makes the trees whiz by pretty quickly! It is isolated and I make sure no one's ahead of me if I do occasionally hit it.
