Following through on a fantasy

That sort of thing should be saved for the racetrack...
The Pacific Coast Highway has some exciting twisty sections (even at normal speeds) and wonderful scenery.

Yes it does. I have traveled through the redwoods many times.

The Grand Prix was a good fast car. It could cruise comfortably at 90. Or even 100. At 110, it vibrated badly and the mirrors would fuzz over and the cigarette lighter would make the most annoying clink clink clink sound as it vibrated. At 120ish, the cheap plastic heating and air vents would rattle fiercely. At maybe 130ish, you could hear the hood going thunk thunk thunk as it rattled. Past this point, the speedometer was useless, and the car threatened to fly apart, which is why I never much cared for Pontiacs. Or a lot of other American cars for that matter.

It was not however, a good car on the twisties.

The back end was kind of loosy goosy if you get my meaning. There was a kind of drift if you turned to much and you would lose traction. You could feel it. Very unnerving feeling your tires spin with no grip while blasting through an S curve at high speed. Even more jarring is when the rear wheel finally catches and the car shudders and jerks a bit as suddenly you have full power again driving you forward on the road.
