You want some serious downhills, you need to try Tennessee! My wife wanted to take a detour there the last time to Pennsylvania. Started going downhill, threw the mini into neutral. Got to 75MPH in neutral, put the mini into 6th gear to slow down a bit. Got to 85MPH, threw the mini into 5th to actually attempt to slow down. There were trucks and SUVs and Minivans passing me, but I wouldn't want to perform any of the turns anywhere near them. I know my mini handled much better than at least 95% of other vehicles on the road.
