Every couple of years, the enthusiast magazines try to come up with a way for readers to have data that they will find meaningful. Unfortunately, they often just go haywire.

Most of the driving public should never go over 100 mph, much less that far above it. Nor do they have a reason to (mostly). There is nowhere in America that we know of that has a rural freeway speed limit that exceeds 80 mph (El Paso, TX, does, for example). So why even exceed that number? It means nothing to anybody unless they're on a track.
Stupid.
What's so wrong with the good old 5-60 mph measurement?
Never made any sense to me either. Not in America, at least. Most places, really. The Autobahn is really the only place I can think of that's the exception. I've done nearly 150 mph there, limited only by the governor. I and my car could have gone faster, but at that speed things happen so fast that it just isn't safe. I tried it. I did it. I won't do it again.
