In all honesty though....this is too fast.

Yeah, but if you go 86 mph .. they got 'ya.

I don't think it's too fast... A large portion of highways are now set at 75 mph. And there's a good stretch of highway from San Antonio to El Paso that's set at 80 mph (and few other areas). Compared to other states I've been to, Texas has the best maintained highways and wider lanes and roadside shoulders.

It's only too fast if your driving too slow

Where is this 85 mph at? Or is it not implemented yet?

85 isn't too fast at all. I've taken plenty of driving vacations, and there are a lot of desolate stretches of interstate out west with very little traffic. If Americans could only get over their love affair with clumsy, top-heavy SUVs as daily drivers, there is no reason the US couldn't have a system similar to the Autobahn, which is the safest major road system in the world, by the way. Sports cars like ours could cruise leisurely at 100+ on open highways no problem if it were allowed.

The news story I saw about it tonight showed a Victory Red 5th Gen driving on the new highway... pretty cool! It will never happen in WA, though...
