it scares the hell out of me when a 6,000 lb. Ford Excursion with a woman on a cell phone blows my my little car at 90. Just because I know the braking distance of that large of a vehicle is 2-3 times greater than my car.....

+1, Yup. While I dont think excessive speed in any car is a good idea at least in a "sporty" car the person has a chance to slow down and or quickly change lanes.
I saw a Honda zip up the road one day weaving in and out. I watched him I mused to myself that "theres an accident waiting to happen" Sure enough the guy decided to change to the middle lane from the slow lane at the same time as someone from the fast lane was changing to the same lane. The Honda, grossly over reacted, swerved hard back into his own lane and ended up spinning. Surely a moron and luckilly no one hit him but in an SUV or Van it would have been a roll over and the potential for death would have been much greater.
