Posted by Steamdriven on Wed Apr 24 08:15:40 2019, in response to Re: Speed, posted by Broadway Lion on Wed Apr 24 05:35:53 2019. "You turn the speed controll off to be safe, and then find yourself going 85 mph."The Interstates were originally designed to allow the stylish but clumsy drum-braked clunkers of the '50s to cruise at 80 mph with no particular driver skill, so if you find yourself going 85 on an Interstate in a modern car, your are unconsciously in sync with the design of the road. On a dry surface with good visibility, just about any modern car (normal car, not a full size van or a ~Smart) is good for a steady 100 on an interstate. You do need a good front end alignment, the some factory specs call for a setting that gains a fraction of an mpg but results in high-speed front end wander, very annoying. |
