Actually cars are governed. My sl55 caps out at 175, the escalade at 100, etc... But you are correct its not low speeds.
Amercian's love their cars, they love their power, and having large powerful engines with a lot of HP. I do not see this changing any time soon.
If anything the gov;t should make it more difficult to get a liscense and drive.
After movin to Tampa, I was shocked how bad the drives were here- WORSE then NO. I have seen more major multi-car accidents here in a year then a lifetime in NO! ( which shocking). Many times the cars are not even fast ones, it has more to do with people not knowing how to drive, or doing other things - an example.
2 days a go a mini-van in front of me was driving eratic on the interstate, going into other lanes, so I decided to jump past her - well as drive by some fat woman is actually reading a fucking BOOK!!! She also had her cell phone plugged into her ear. This woman should have been pulled over, beaten and had her car impounded!
It is not the cars, its the morons driving them!
Oh and its only a matte of time before some liberals start advocating gov't limits on cars....

I have experienced the book reading first hand, also recently had Jury Duty and a cop that was on the Jury (civil case, so aparently cops can be jurors here) said she had pulled over a guy who was shaving, not a electric razor, but had a cup of hot water on the dash, shaving cream on his face, and using the rear view to make sure he got a good close shave.
I do not want or need a black box, big brother already has too much information on me, of course with the GPS they probably know where I am anyway. Another thing they are trying here in NJ is using easy pass on the Parkway to estimate speed of vehicle between tolls, and mailing tickes to anyone without enough time between checkpoints.
