So Ive heard that in a lot of states the speed limit has increased or is in the process of increasing. The max on certain hwy's here in CA is 70. But for the most part its 65. I hear Texas now has it at 80. What's it up to in your neck of the woods?

 

Wow! 80 MPH!!!!!

If only my car would go that fast...

Rod.

 

Way out north or south of Seattle it gets up to 70mph, same in some parts of Oregon. I don't think it hits 75 untill Cali.

when you cross the border into Canada the speed limit jumps up to 130-160!!! its crazy!

 

in the middle of Colorado Springs the speed limit is 55 but once you travel 20 min north or south you hit 75mph

 

Thats because they use KPH . I wish speed limits here were 300 KPH. Then i wouldent be worried about cops everytime i do a highway run.

 

I would not want to take my car up to 80 at this present time..

 

ive done 200kph on our roads up here, but usually we get away with 120kph on our highways, even tho the limit is 100, 120 on the koke, hwy

 

During a highway run i go around 220-280 KPH when i drive regularly i drive around 120-140 KPH.

 

Though I'm not much of a fan of MIT, this guy has a pretty useful and up-to-date site summarizing the US laws, last updated in June of this year:
