Speed means nothing, you can't legally drive that fast on public roads. It's the acceleration that makes cars fun to drive. Driving consistently at 140 versus driving at 50 feels pretty much the same (besides more bumps in less time and far more dangerous at 180, less time to react, more situations in less time) Zero acceleration is not very fun.

OK bSpot, I'll think after I reread this
