Incredible speed is too slow. We need ludicrous speed.

The most important is that you get there safely. 125 mph is very common in Europe (equates to 200kph) with diesel and electric traction and is considered to be the upper limit for visual signalling, over this is usually on dedicated tracks with special signalling (in cab) e.g. TGV and NBS.

Nah, for me safety is not the most important. That is why I like driving in a 1970s Mustang :-)

Nope, but when I hit a tree the steering wheel is in my kidney and my nose in the windshield.
