Imangine a world where everyone went speed limit all the time. How slow we would all go around neighborhoods, and on highways... and imagine no one tried crossing the intersection on yellow trying to beat the red. And everyone driving at safe following distances, and passing with safe room... wow that would be a boring place to drive in.
Don't get me wrong, I don't drive like a complete dork. I like speeding, and a race every now and then on the highway is a big rush, but I also know when it's time to drive serious and carefully. But at 3 in the morning when you are on the highway and there is not one single car on the road, but someone who wants to race with you... it would sure be awesome to go past 130 without having to hear the engine make that horrible sound at the fuel cut off. That's the only time that I have maxed out my car, in situations like that. With races on highways when there is more cars, I think I usually push to around 110 top.
Are you saying that the whole purpose of turbos, and upgraded exhausts, and engine swaps, engine build-ups, etc should just be to see who's car can reach a governed top speed of 65mph the quickest? I thought it was because we all want faster cars.
