So because some people are fools then it should ruin the fun for the rest of us?

Cars were never suppost to be a convenience, thats why most of the original car companys all made sports cars.

But out of interest, if 170mph is too much then what speed should they be able to do?

Perhaps you might argue that all cars should be electronically limited to 70mph or whatever the local limit is? But then what happens to safe overtaking? if the car in front is doing 60 on a 70mph road and i want to over take im not going to be able to do it in a safe manner with a car restricted to 70.

What most people seem to forget is that its not the 200 mph super cars that get clocked speeding on a daily basis, its the ford focus taking the kids to school etc doing 35 in a 30.
