Nothing is more fake in a car than a speedometer which says that, the car can go up to 110-120 miles per hour. First of all, it’s not allowed on the roads. Secondly, how many vehicles can withstand going over 80 MPH for extended periods, without crapping all sorts of things through the engine or transmission gaskets, not to mention that the lifespan of the vehicle will be shortened.

How old are the cars you’re driving? Anything more than entry-level vehicles have no trouble cruising 80+mph.

Almost any European brand can cruise at 100mph.

You have to be kidding!

Its hard to keep most cars under 80 MPH.

My grand daughter’s 2010 mustang convertible is as smooth as cream of wheat at 160 MPH.

fake? Well maybe sometimes. But my big blocks run 80/85 all day long and I fully expect them to punch up to 110/120 to get around the Prius buttmobiles when I have to make some room pulling a grade. But I live in the Great Wild West where nobody cares and trucks rule. And the guys who help me build them love to work on real iron.
