A new Illinois law will target so-called “super-speeders,” requiring them to install speed-limiting devices in their vehicles if they commit multiple road violations.
Why do we make street legal cars that can even go 90? I once went 155 on a Yamaha R6. Why can we buy stuff that can even go that fast? Seems like a huge waste tbh.
I am Implying that you need a certain amount of power to be able to climb a mountain like that. And You may not have that much power if the engine Is limited that much. I remember going up those mountains in a Datsun 210. Brutal.
To be fair a lot of non-performance cars were limited to 110 through the 90s and 2000s. Not sure when they changed it, but I had a 91 miata, limited at 110. Ford probe, 110. Nissan sentra, yeah 110.
None of those cars were terribly fun to drive at that speed. Floaty, white kunckle ride. Any bump and it would have ended in blood.
There really isn’t much of a reason for anything more. As an adult who speeds all the time at 25+ I would not find any reason to crack 100. 90-95 is at the far end for me. Usually 80-85 on open roads.
Over 100 and even in a good car with good tires, brakes and suspension, if something happens, you have so little time to react and you’re already at the limits of what your car can do. Do that in a crapheap with worn tires, brakes, suspension and you’re fucked if you hit a rough section of road.
Why not? What if I REALLY have to poop and won’t make it home in time unless I double the speed limit? What if my arborist friend got a life threatening injury from a chainsaw and needed to get to a hospital faster than an ambulance can even get to the scene of the incident? What if we’re over populated and I think we should peel all the warning labels off and let the population issue correct itself?

Can’t possibly limit the speed of cars.
Ebikes though, fuck your top speed. The government decides
Because there are a lot of racetracks in the world, and a few people who take their cars and bikes to them
I get that, but my 2006 minivan can do 110…
Absolutely no need for that. Lol
Okay, have fun climbing the Rocky Mountains on your road trip vacation. Oh wait.
Physics major?
No, computer science.
Are you implying that you need to get a 150mph running start to make it to the top?

Nobody said anything about power limiters. You know that power and speed aren’t the same thing right?
I see you are intent on either making me appear or feel stupid. I see your troll, and raise it with “don’t give a fuck”.
Have a nice day.
And how do you know that?

Secrets.
Very few maybe 0.001%. So GPS restrict speeds.

Honestly sounds like a case of “too stupid and reckless to own a licence” tbh.
Why limit it? We have plenty of highways where that’s a perfectly acceptable speed. Very long, very straight, and no turning traffic.
For sale in Germany perhaps
and all cars should have alcohol interlocks.
