Are you asking why it is legal to own a vehicle capable of reaching speeds of 180 miles per hour?

Nah not own. You could take it to a closed track. Just don't understand why a rocket ship needs to be street legal. There are no scenarios where you should be doing over 100 quite frankly.

According to the speed limits in Texas there are no scenarios that you should be doing over 85.  Off the top of my head as to why not is that 100+ mph traffic accidents are probably rare in the grand scheme of traffic accidents, and an engine governor law would be pretty far reaching to prevent them.  I have no idea if any other countries do that.

Nah i get it, it's such a rare thing that it probably isn't worth considering. I was just more observing the strangeness of saying "don't ever do this under any circumstances.....but here, drive this rocket ship. But seriously. Don't even think about it." To me, the only reason to own such a car is to drive it fast.
