I Need Advice Quick!!!!

Wow, this was a good read. Kept me entertained for a whole minute.

I do agree there should be more tracks and stuff. But would that really help? More tracks = more racing. More racing (even on the tracks) will lead to more racing on the streets because everyone thinks they're the freakin King of Racing then. There aways has been racing, and always will be racing. Nothing can be done that would make a huge crowd change over to that. Just like smoking... you can't stop until it's too late.

I dont want this to happen of course!, but i have always wondered..... if the speed limit in MOST states is 65, then why not make cars only go like 70 or something? what is the point of making them to go 100+?? I have just always wondered this.

Thats a good point..there really is no reason for a car to reach 150+ mph...but then again you might need it, for example, if you are trying to race to the hospital because your wife is about to give birth! Other than that, I doubt there is really any other reason..GOOD POINT!

Definately a good point, but SHHHHHHHH.

Even if your wife was giving birth, they would still pull you over. An ambulance should be made to go that, but you're only going to get in trouble, even if it is a medical thing.

I think they do it so that the states and government can make more money off of us. Sure, lets make cars that go 150. Since we can do that, we will go that fast. We get tickets, impound the car, whatever. The Man makes money off of us. I try to fight the man, but it fails. lol

That could be part of it nowadays. But, back in the day it was all a competition to build the biggest and fastest cars because the companys knew they would sell more. Think about the muscle car era. All they did was try everything to make cars go faster, quicker. Would any of you want to buy a car with a max speed of 65mph? It was all part of the demand and the demand has gotten completely ridiculous nowadays. I know that I don't need a speedometer that goes up to 160mph... Well, not on the streets at least. lol

i sure as hell wouldn't buy a car that only goes 5 mph over the speed limit. i think if they did that, there would be a dramatic drop in new car sales.
