pretty much every speedo goes past 100, what the fuck is the point of making vehicles be able to go upwards of 100mph? (beside running from the law) why do they make shit so fast on the top end? is it just how the designs worked out? im not against speed freaks its just like whats the point faster than a hundred?

So that the government can make more money off of speeding ticks and such. Same reason that pot is illegal and legal at the same time :p

Police chases would be boring as fuck if cars only went, say, 70mph max. World's Scariest Police Chases and John Bunell would be out of a job!:cry:

Modern day motorcycles are restricted by an electronic limiter that only allows the bike to hit 189mph.

So apparently you only need to go 189mph by government restrictions :lol:

That is probably the top speed of a police helicopter or something :P

lol, speed limits are just a suggestion, and sometimes your gas pedal can put you in safer place faster than your brake can.

My last ticket was for 135 mph, I don't know why they make Porsches go that fast.

BTW: Took my racing tires off. :bigjoint:
