Ditto. Straight runs are (for me) hard to find. Too many potential obstacles, uneven road, etc...

IMOHO those fears are healthy.
I don't have a roaster, but I've taken my Coupe to just over 150 mph.
It is exhilarating. I'm a defensive driver so the anxiety was good anxiety.
The XF sticks to the ground, fairly quiet and smells of rotten egg.
The road wasn't as smooth as I would want so I felt every little bump and was very focused on whether my tires would leave the ground even for an instant. I don't like that feeling at all at those speeds. I had that happen through southern Illinois doing 135 mph. Not a good feeling for me.
