[QUOTE="DeerAssassin, post: 1892079, member: 14937"] Even my wifes 1.6l Ford Fiesta will run 110MPH with ease. 85 is nothing. Neither is 95. I drive better at 95 than 70 because at 70 I get bored and complacent. At 95 i'm alert and observe more of what is going on around me. America's speed limits are severely outdated. Engine power, car engineering and tire technologies are at a level that should see us cruising interstates at 80+ MPH without a problem. My theory is that limits are kept low to keep that speeding ticket revenue coming in. Drivers already exceed the limit constantly because they know that the limit is too low. Hopefully other states will soon follow suit, but as long as cops can make $300+ dollars off of an 8 minute traffic stop I doubt it will happen. [/QUOTE]
