"Limited to 70mph"

[asterix]

well, its partly because those are 'the standard figures' , there are more usefull figures,, like 'rpm @ 60' 'rpm@70' , 30-50 , '20-40 in gear x', but it'd be stupid/overkill to most people to have all that data..
so we just have 0-60 as a basic idea of how quick it is , some fuel figures and a max , to show essentially 'how much is it going to be screaming at 70 on the motorway' because something with a max of 80 , compared to a max of 140 is obviously going to be struggling...

as for the 'limited to 70' , theres another slant,, I remember talking to a driver who had a list of deliveries and basically the company didnt give a feck if he broke the law, they 'turned a blind eye' (or at least some managers did), so another point would be that with that 'max 70' it does help the driver, because he has no choice in at least breaking the motorway limit..

Or you could just say 'if you get this car people will think you have a bigger willy'.

err or rather you THINK thats what they think, but most people think that you're compensating for something 'missing' ...

fitting speed limters to our vans didnt make much difference but fitting telemetry did make most sharpen up there driving skills
