155 takes a good bit longer and the closing rate on unsuspecting likely incompetent drivers is so fast that they are unable to see and register that a car is overtaking them at that rate.
My point is not that its ok to go 100. My point is that the difference in risk to others escalates exponentially.
Somewhere up there I related getting past by an Audi that was going at least 150. I was going 80 and he caught me in a second from as far back as I first noticed his lights. I watched a car in front of me need to move left n front of the audi. He put his blinker on and just at the last second swerved back into the center lane. The Audi could not have slowed enough not to hit the other car. Probably still going 50 or 70 MPH faster than the innocent.
Still. My issue is with the OP complaining that the vert is governed at 155...Obviously not intending to track the car or he would have been looking for a coupe... ZL1 or a 1LE...
That complaint doesnt sound like an experienced driver.
I dont have the heart to tell you Ive gone 100 in a tractor trailer too...
Sorry bro.

I can’t agree more. I’d even say that the closing speed can be severely mis- judged by an inexperienced operator of high powered speeding car. To be honest, I was a bit alarmed at how quickly I came up on others, the first time I went full throttle in 400hp+ car, 10 or so years ago.
As a general rule, I don’t pass anyone at a high rate of speed.
