To "put your foot hard to the floor" is perhaps not the best thing to do in all situations if you have an potent engine. Tickling the traction control system just to disable the speed limit seems to be just stupid. A better system would be feedback in the accelerator. When the speed limit is reached the pedal gets harder to push, but you can still accelerate if you push harder. -- G–ran Larsson http://www.nospam.com
