Correct me if I am wrong, I don't know much about cars... but take Porsche 9XX; the new version aren't going to be twice as fast as the previous version; whereas G5 and MacPro...

True, but then with laws governing speed it is never likely to be. Were there no such speeding restrictions I'm sure the new ones would be a lot faster than the old ones.

McLaren_F1 - 386.5 km/h, was the previous fastest road car; Bugatti_Veyron - 407 km/h, the current fastest road car...

What restrictions?

[Tommo]

Well here in the UK (I'm not sure where you are) if you get caught doing more than 100mph they take your licence away for a while, that kind of restriction.

Move to Germany!

I think I would soil my pants driving a Chrysler Crossfire or Mercedes SLK 320 on the AutoBahn. "Whoops, just missed the exit for Munich."

Doesn't really matter, such cars are still being made regardless of any restrictions... unless you are telling me that the manufracuring of cars capable of going over 100mph in UK.

In fact, in Japan, there are such law that road cars are limited to 280 house power.
