[edit] General Discussion

I feel that the article is written very casually. How can it be marked for fixing? Astrangequark (talk) 23:39, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Reason for governor

I'm skeptical that high performance cars (those that can go anywhere near 155 mph) have governors to limit pollution. The increased costs of pollution seem miniscule compared to the increased risk of collisions and multiple fatalities, especially when one considers how often any car, even in a wide-open country like the United States, can exceed 155 mph (and that these speeds would be most easily achievable in rural areas where air quality is not the issue that it is in congested cities). This needs a source. Ufwuct 21:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
