There's too many traps. Not only the car needs to be superior, but also your driving skills and capabilities.
Myself, I don't do this kind of driving anymore. I have friends drive me when I am there. I also love to ride the train. Fast, convenient and comfortable. Besides, there is always a pretty lady somewhere in the train to flirt with.

There was a friend of a friend, I only knew him remotely. He was said to have been in a rush, from Munich to Lugano, Switzerland. Staying casually below speed limit it's about 4 to 5 hours drive from the time of entry into 'Die Schweiz'.
That guy was on the road with one of those DeTomaso Pantheras. There is not much traffic on Switzerlands Autobahnen, so it's easy to loose touch on the speed limit.
Anyways, as the story goes, after about an hour driving at top speed he had a helicopter following him.
It was funny, because this guy was one of those 'High Rollers', who didn't give much of a damn and thought this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to try and outrace a helicopter.

However, long story short, he didn't get very far, as he was stopped, arrested and held until he paid the fine, which was about less then a day later.

I should mention, this is a very popular route from Southern Germany to Monte Carlo (Casinos ).
Munich - St Gallen -Luzern - Lugano - Milano - Torino, from there down to the Italian Riviera ... too many memories
