Would settle for 85 mph top speed, a vehicle that cruises at 85 mpg, and pulls 0.85g on the skid pad. Back East of the Mississippi the roads aren't smooth or straight so high speed is rare. Posted limits are usually 65 mph on Interstates and 55 mph everywhere else. The drag racing takes place at the on ramps of the divided highways. Getting up to speed from 30 mph to 65 mph is critical.
