We shouldn't be setting our speed limits to the lowest common denominator.
I've noticed as the car makers add safety features to cars, the public drives them to the limits of these improvements. Couple that with the advertisements of getting into the new improved car and roaring past an 18 wheeler into oncoming traffic feeling perfectly safe and smiling at your passenger as you barely get back into lane in time.

So, do you want your 17 year old daughter that just got their license to see an 80 MPH limit and think the car is built for that and therefore go for it? Errrr... not me, thanks.

They have these drag chips, wonder if they have governor chips, I can think of a majority of people that need these.....
