I never understood why cars sold to the North American market are designed to go so fast. It's not legal on any public roads to go as fast as they are designed to go. I can understand 20 or 30 km over the maximum speed limit in cases of emergency.

I realize that some people like to race cars (legally), but you should have to get a special license to remove the speed cieling on high performance vehicles.
