    Mine have never been to a track to find out how fast they are and I have too much respect for my passengers to scare them. When I am on the road by myself I drive the limit so I guess 70 is as fast as they need to be.

    You'd be 5 mph under the speed limit here Paul. :) I've run 11.81 with mine, but it is a strip only car built for a class that has a 12.0 limit. I keep the others near the speed limit.:)
