still kinda begs the question. why 180? why not 160, which is nears as makes no difference to a clean 100mph. still faster than "safe"
I think Chan nailed it with S rated tires - isn't this the lowest speed rating for non-truck usage? If I had to guess, it's a cost-saving thing because they can now put S tires on all their vehicles.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
