I guess I am not following your logic on this. I don't drive my modern cars at 65 mph speeds in neighborhoods where kids are on bikes, -or animals in the road. I drive 60 mph when I have the proper conditions like divided highways or Interstates where kids and their pets are not allowed -and where I can see for a distance. And FWIW, I promise that if I am traveling at 60 mph alongside a loaded semi-truck, I can panic stop my Model-A faster than what the semi driver can stop his rig. Come on guys, just because not all restored Model-As can do this does not mean every Model-A should be placed into a 40 mph category!
