in my reasoning, that option is impossible.
What I mean is, imagine an MX5 and a Vette. The MX5 is technically a slow car. On most race tracks (not counting, say autocross), the Vette would annihilate it. Yet with the MX5, you can exploit most of its abilities on public roads, without speeding. It can turn, and it just responds so nice to the driver. Now on the same public roads, you won't come anywhere close to experiencing the Vette's full potential. So you could reword this as "would you drive a slow car exuberantly and maximize its potential, or would you drive a fast car as well as you can on public roads, but still be holding it back?"
