As to corners...... Well I have crossed the USA N to S and E to W, probably done about 50k miles in total. Public, single lane roads (with passing places every 100 yrds) and 180 degree hairpins are rare. We have some seriously scary ones here.
Then again I have not done the Tail of the Dragon, will keep it in mind for my next visit
PS: I do remember crossing the mountains near Grand Junction CO a few years back in a 325i during a raging Blizzard. Luckily we had snow chains but that was plenty scary

Thats okay, I was just kidding around. Yeah, I have driven around Europe as well (not Scotland, but in the upper Midlands, Ireland and Bavaria), there are probably a heck of a lot more one-lane roads in Europe than the US, not to mention a lot more narrow, twisty roads.
One thing we don't lack in the US is space and wide-open roads. East coast moutain (Appalachian) roads are probably the most comparable to Europe.
