But it is about Car Culture... How everyones become so competetive over speed, they've all decided to limit their cars top speeds so they don't get at each others necks...

I'd say that a key thing to hit on is hwo car culture changes. Make a point that somethings are a concrete part of it, eg: muscle cars/outrageous power, but many aspects are fickle and very fad-like, eg: spoilers that cause nothing but drag and exhaust components made of coffee cans.

I do believe that's called the 'Max Power' culture- making your car look like it has performance, then you open the bonnet and there's a K&N induction kit on the standard 1.2 engine. And that's it.
Then we have the 'Fast Businessman' culture, the man who buys the German speed machines, so he can look like he's a cool dude with his M5 parked outside the 'Country Pub Restaurant' and throw his keys onto the bar in an attempt to look cool (so many times I've been tempted to filch the keys...)
The 'Poor Beknighted Young Driver' culture, which I am part of- kids who want to go fast, but are limited by beasty insurance premiums. Luckily, we're coming up with ways past this- NOT chips off eBay for £3.50
The 'Nissan Micra' culture consists of middle-aged people who drive merely as a way to get from A to B, who buy cars that offer them absolutely nothing in return. They buy them for how bland they are. This is a huge culture, and they find it acceptable to drive at 30mph down 50mph/National Speed Limit Roads.
I will define more of these interesting beasts later.
Erm no. The gentleman agreement was made in the late 80's to limit some fast german cars to 250km/h to keep the green party happy. Since then there have been exceptions, and not all the german manufacturers have applied it, and some foreign manufacturers have decided to have it (like Jaguar for instance). The first car to have the 250km/h limit was the BMW 750i in 1987.Originally Posted by Waugh-terfall
By the way, IIRC, the RS6 Plus had the top speed raised to 280km/h.

I don't really understand what your getting at Johnny. So you need to show how how the car culture of today has changed in response to society?
I suppose you could touch on changing industry standards, and materials used in production. Nothing these days is really made from steel and sweat like they were back in the day, and what we see on hot/ratrods today. Everything tends to be plastic, fiberglass, that ever so famous Carbon Fiber. Technology in general to, everyone wants to be safe and secure in their cars with families. I guess this is why they got bigger and fatter.

This is true, but we didn't go that fast in it. Ran out of road...Originally Posted by Ferrer
