I will have to take my NMS up to the limiter, lucky for me there is a 12 mile strait stretch of rural (remote) road with zero traffic that has new pavement. In just a strait line I expect it to be solid- Heck, even Toyota trucks are rocketing past 130MPH and not even shifting into high gear these days!

On public roads, I think the idea is to keep yourself from getting to a point where you are controlling a sliding car. Hence the need for a communicative steering IF you want to drive fast and at the limit.
I was referring to this part of your post, where available road grip is far below the car's grip limit.
