Uhhh... how about dropping you from your insurance policy because you exceeded the speed limit 5 times by more than 10mph in a month (all they'd have to know is your position and velocity), or accelerated at twice the acceleration due to gravity in a Dodge Colt
, or took your car to the track and hit 118mph in the quarter.
As far as they know, you did it on a public street. Either way, tell you're insurance company that you drag race your car, private track or otherwise, and see how long you have a policy. Furthermore, what if I bought a brand new Z06, took it to the track on Vette day and went to the dealer for a failure and they said, ooops sorry, we see you were accelerating rather quickly and we can't cover the cost of these repairs. Don't for one minute think they won't do it -- Mitsu is already doing it with the EVOs.
I'm pretty certain there's no one here that would want that kind of scrutiny. The fact is, I can handle my Spyder with $1800 JIC Magic Coilovers and Wilwood 6-pot 12.5" brakes better at 80mph than some 80 year old fart that can't see and can't hear worth a $hit at 50mph. These little boxes take all the subjectivity out of evaluating a situation. Not a good thing, as the Canadian examples above illustrate.
