This thread has seemed to segue into a conversation on the ethics of “speed.” There are two laws in play for a person when it comes to speed within a vehicle on roads within a jurisdiction: laws of the people and laws of physics. Break excessively either one might get you judged by more than just the twelve on earth.
Just because a vehicle can perform at fast speeds does not mean a driver should. I recently purchased a luxury sedan with a little more performance options than the average automobile. And for the first time, a nice car that I bought is not my daily driver. It is 9 years old with less than 30,000 miles. I am proud to have it tucked away in the garage and is only taken out on nice days or if absolutely necessary- I do have studded snow tires for winter. I have driven it in many different conditions with both sets of tires to try to understand it capabilities in the different scenarios to grasp better its capabilities in various driving situations. On a clear sunny day with the summer tires on the interstate and no vehicles around, I brought it up to about 110 miles per hour even though able to pull more. OK, check that one off the list. I do not need to go there again.
This car is so nice inside and out that I do not mind smelling the “new-car roses” inside and taking a little more time in it to enjoy the ride.
