Having driven a new stock Horizon at 80 mph on US highway roads in WV the tire grab on the road was very limited. US DOT testing has proven at 55 mph all four tires are off the road more often than all 4 tires are on the road. You must have a death wish to want to drive over a 100 mph on US public highways. The speed limiter and gearing on street legal US cars should slanted toward fuel economy with a max speed 80 mph.

I think that all states should have tough inspection standards that check for illegal unsafe mods. There should be random road checks for cars as well as for 18 wheelers.
