Hell yes.
There really is something good about slow. Back when I was running our three-liter E36 on track days, one of my instructors said:
"Y'know, one of the things about these really quick cars with a lot of stick is that, when you
do go off, you're going to be going
really, really fast.
Best warning/piece of advice I ever got from an instructor.
Guys with Triumph Spitfires or early MGs know all about this. It's not the speed that counts, it's getting the most out of your car.

PS - Anecdotally, I swear that with the rubber from those old days, if the wind got over 40 MPH, some cars would slide
when parked.
