There are a few places in my town where there are turns with steep uphills right after where I will do WOT through third gear. There is also a cloverleaf on ramp on my way to work where the highway you are entering is usually pretty empty so I will do 3-4-5 runs there sometimes. Other than that there really aren't any places I can WOT without it being stupidly dangerous, and that's with only 250hp. If I had a more powerful car I would still drive it fast in the same spots, but it would just be over a lot faster. I have a lot more fun driving fast on twisty roads where I can plant myself into the sides of my seat instead of the back and not worry about having an off at 100mph.
