You seem to think some kid getting a car that can do 140mph as opposed to one that can exceed 115mph is going to make a difference. There is no difference. Hitting a tree or power pole at 115mph in a Civic will kill just the same as hitting it at 140 in a BMW.
It's not the car that kills, it's the driver...It's not the gun that kills but the person using the gun. Same thing.
