> It's like reading the specs on a car, you're never going to drive at 160 mph, but at least you know you could.

It's like testdriving your car on the manufacturer's track, seeing it go to 160 mph, then taking the car to race day and you hit a 90 mph limiter they built into the car for fuel efficiency.

Ironically, there's a Nissan car that does enable and disable the limiter based on the GPS detecting it being on a race track or not. But they're transparent about it.
