Not to mention top speed. The US should have a federal or at least NY/CA state law that modern cars be electronically limited to 112 mph, as it is in Japan. There is no valid reason for a street legal passenger car to be travelling faster than that.

I live in Germany, and routinely drive faster than that. With good roads and reasonably trained drivers this isn't an issue

I take my road car to racing events (SCCA) and get above 112 routinely.

I think Nissan had a workaround I could live with: GPS fencing around known tracks would activate/deactivate the speed governor.
