45mph is a bit underpowered, I agree. However, I'm not one of those guys who even weighs horsepower as a factor when buying a new car. I usually choose the smallest American car I can find. Truth to tell, I don't even like my car, but drive it out of necessity. I'd much rather be on one of my bicycles or my Harley. I guess I'm a two-wheel guy.
More power to you, I like bikers. I drive a 400 hp Camaro and just laugh at these toys.
