Is there any popular new car that can't do 106 mph on level ground, no wind? I can find a few extra-wheezy cars with published top speeds lower than that, but even a Prius, base Civic, or base Corolla can exceed 110 mph.

- acdha 2y agoI thought there were some 75mph zones in the high desert but it’s been almost two decades since I last drove there. In any case, though, that’s basically my thought: there’s literally nowhere in the entire state where you can legally drive over 75mph on a public road, so it’s kind of nuts that most drivers can easily go 100-160mph and we just say “don’t do this very easy thing, that’d be dangerous”.
