fast as they used to (well most). In the book it describes a 1995? corvette
being faster than anything in 2053 - the reason was that EVERY vehicle now made
has strict emmision controls when it is made - this along with fules that have
less energy but also less waste is why the cars go slower
simply put - they are cleaner but like Granite said - they don't have
the horsepower.
the dynamo goes at 250 which is 300kmph = 192 mph
at this speed cars start to become aerodynamic - end tend to leave the road.
Look at what happens to stock car (not very areodynamic) they get going 210 mph
and someone taps them lightly in the rearend - the car then lifts up in the air
and proceeds to flip over. Also at 192 mph - you really can't take corners
very well
